This first ride of the season features an easy paced climb up Walker Rd , then down Dogwood Rd and back to the Velo.
22 miles and about 1500 of ascent.

**Here’s the route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38786928**

Bring a spare tube, helmet, eye protection, water bottle and a blinky rear light. Be sure your brakes, tires & shifters are in good condition! This is not the ride to find out that your brake pads need replacing or your shifter needs adjustment.
This is not a route for beginner cyclists as it involves 15-20 min of continuous & steep climbing followed by a high speed descent with sharp curves. Everyone in the group is expected to wait at the top of all climbs to allow slower cyclists to top out and get a short rest.
