Post Christmas Gathering for Tamales

The organized ride portion of our event today remains cancelled due to wet trail conditions, but Geo and Aric are still hosting a beer/coffee/tamale get together so come on out this morning to Brushy Creek!

Changes:

10:30am gathering

Pavilion on the other side of Parmer (see Map above)

No organized ride, but if you want to bring your bike out there is plenty of paved trail to ride on your own if the rain holds off.

Geo is bringing Coffee, beer, and Tamales - come out and enjoy!

-----------------------------------

OLD PLAN:

Who remembers last year's Saturday after Christmas Geo & Aric Engagement Celebration Ride?

https://www.meetup.com/mountainbikes-130/events/157046942/

Well it's that time of year again, and the happy (now married) couple are hosting another Post Christmas Ride!

Come on out if you need to burn off the calories from your Christmas cookie overindulgence, or if you got any new bike related toys for Christmas bring them out to show them off and play with them.

Park at the Brushy Creek Sports Complex (Brushy Creek Recreation Park) and look for the group of mountain bikers, ask around for Lloyd, Geo, or Aric.

Time: ~2 hours for 7 miles.

Arrive early enough to prepare yourself and your bike, Geo will have coffee at 9:30am and kickstands up @ 10:00am.

Geo will also bring tamales and beer for the post ride refreshments, so plan on sticking around!

Skill Level: We will break into groups and assign leaders to match skill level: Beginner, Advanced Beginner & Intermediate. Not sure how to assess your mountain biking skills? Check out the RLAG breakdown on Facebook:

Pace: Will match ability of the riders: we will maintain a reasonable rolling rate and will stop to regroup regularly around trail intersections and technical features.

No Drop: you can self drop out of the group at any time if you know the trails and how to get back to the trail head, otherwise we will get you back.
