Pisgah Area SORBA will be hosting Beginner friendly group ride in Bent Creek.
We will meet every Wednesday at the Rice Pinnacle parking area at 5:45 PM and the ride starts at 6:00. The ride are as follows:
The Lower Rim Ride. This is more of a beginner friendly social ride of approximately 9 to11 miles in length. We will be riding the middle to lower trails around the Bent Creek bowl. Most of what we ride is deemed easy. There will however be some challenging climbs and downhills. The amount of these will be decided by the group. However there is nothing in Bent Creek that's flat. We will ride what everyone is comfortable with. I've said there's nothing in Bent Creek I can't walk. If you feel you are too slow for a group ride this might be the ride to try. We will be stopping often and no one will be left behind. So dust off your bike, pump up your tires, lube your chain and come and join us. Plan on spending about two hours or so in the woods.
Because this is a SORBA sanctioned ride all Non-PAS members are required to sign a waiver.
Helmets are required and biking gloves are recommended. Bring along a spare tube, water and snacks for the ride.
Weather permitting , we will be meeting at the Rice Pinnacle Parking Area at 5:45 pm and leave at 6:00 pm so please be on time. Should there be bad weather we will make the call at 3pm and post it on PAS Facebook.
