This is the first ride being put together to see how many FAT BIKES we can get in a group ride in the Louisville Ky area. FAT BIKES are preferred but MTB are acceptable. NO ROADBIKES. This will be a fun beginners ride with a lunch stop along the way at either The New Albanian in New Albany or Cluckers in Jeffersonville on the river. The ride will be following part of the urban assault ride with a few added miles including waterfront park, the Big Four Bridge ,Falls of the Ohio, as well as a few areas I'll be exploring before the ride.

Distance: Distance will be approx 20 miles with easy outs for the main ride. Additional miles can be easily added to the end of the ride.

Duration: It all depends on how long of a break we take. Time on the bike should be about 2 hours. 90% of the ride is paved so we should make good time on FAT BIKES.

Ride Rating: Definitely BEGINNER. (click LINK (https://www.meetup.com/Louisville-Mountainbikers/about/) for descriptions.)

FYI: This is Definitely a No Drop Beginners ride. We will be riding on paved walkway paths, some city streets, the 2nd Street Bridge sidewalk, Big Four Bridge and about 1-2 miles of gravel and grassy roads(each way) Cross bikes and MTB are ok, FAT BIKES are preferred, NO road bikes. We will be looking for things to ride over and challenge the fat bikes. Could even get a little muddy so plan and dress accordingly.

Requirements:

1. Bike in good working order (test ride your bike BEFORE you come. Make sure the brakes work well, the tires are properly inflated and the bike shifts properly into all gears.
