Ugly Sweater Christmas Ride

Join my son and I while rocking your very worst ugly sweater or equivalent for a fun and challenging ride through Brown’s Ravine and a bunch of EDH trails. 15-20 mile ride at a moderate pace. The bigger the group the better. This will be a no drop ride but it is NOT NOT A BEGINNER RIDE. Post ride we can drop by MRAZ for some fuel and post ride lubricants.

There will be a fair amount of climbing. Most technical features have go arounds or you can walk them but it’s 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)

*Trails can be loose in turns when dry, so ride with caution!
*Allow reasonable space between riders esp thru tech sections.
*Stronger, more skilled riders should ride towards the front of pack.

*Poison Oak is everywhere, so no touchy touchy.
