We're going to ride from somewhere to somewhere and we're going to eat while we're somewhere. This is going to be a weekly ride on Wednesdays (when I'm not leading an adventure somewhere else).
The intent of this weekly adventure has four parts:
- To increase our fitness.
- To meet some cool, likeminded adventurers.
- To find and try new places to eat.
- To get our butts used to the bike seat!
THIS WEEK'S PLAN is to meet at the base of the Big 4 bridge in Jeffersonville. We'll ride to New Albany and back. Then we'll pick a spot for supper. Come on out.
These will be out-and-back rides. If you aren't comfortable or unsure of the distance. Let me know and I can meet you at the turnaround and shuttle you and your bike to the start. That way you can start with half the distance and build up to the full ride.
These will not be fast rides. 7-10 mph average speed. This is a social ride and don't you forget it!
Eventually, I'm hoping to get more people interested in bikepacking so that we can do some exploration by bike. Kayaking will always be my number one activity. However, there is a lot to see on land and this is a fun way to explore.
WARNINGS:
There is NO OVERHEAD COVER. You will be exposed to the sun for the entire ride. Please plan accordingly.
It's going to be HOT. Bring plenty of fluids and some sort of electrolyte replacement. The sun will always try to end your adventure. Don't let it.
We will likely be RIDING AT NIGHT. FRONT AND REAR LIGHTS ARE REQUIRED. We may be mostly biking dedicated trails, but we need to plan for street crossings and potential detours along streets.
Rentals are available. Send me a message if you need one.
