Amazing forecast for next weekend, so let's ride!
Meet Sunday 10am at the Berry Patch gas station on Rt. 8 in Lawsonville, NC. We will run a 133 mile loop clockwise from there. It will be mostly backroads and class 1 gravel, with a bit of class 2; big bike friendly. Gas at start/finish and about halfway in Willis VA. Pack food and water for the day.
Note that I will be unavailable to lead this ride, so we need someone with a GPS to volunteer to lead. I'll provide the contact list to you.
