Sunday Funday @ GB (Intermediate Riders)

This is a new recurring listing for this intermediate ride. One or more of us may show up each week to lead. There may be some weeks when we are all unavailable, in which case attendees can sort out a leader or we may cancel.

YOU MUST SIGN UP TO THIS RIDE TO ATTEND

Join us for a fun and challenging 12 - 13 mile ride at a pace of about 8 - 12 mph over lots of rock gardens, granite slabs, and single track full of ruts and tall weeds/grass here and there. Routes and distance change weekly depending on group turnout. Most technical features have go arounds but its your responsibility to ride within your abilities and keep up with the group so as not to cause unreasonable delays and disruption to the stated pace/flow of the ride.

We'll have regroups to catch your breath and to provide further direction and guidance, so pls be listening and ready to roll out again when needed.

BRING:
*Well tuned mountain bike (no gravel or hybrids),
*Helmet, water, fix-a-flat stuff, first aid, and positive attitude!
*Post ride bevs or snacks for yourself or to share & chair (optional)
