RAIN CANCELS THIS EVENT

IMPORTANT: Be sure your bike is in good working order! Tires should be in good shape and pumped up, gears should shifting smoothly, and you're brakes should be properly adjusted. If possible, pack a spare tube in case of a flat. A hand pump or CO2 inflator is also desirable, though not absolutely necessary, as many riders will already have these items.

Please be ready to hit the trail at 9:30 am.

SAFETY CONCERNS: We will be riding on the road during part of this ride, to connect between the Northern Rail Trail and the Winni Trail. Be absolutely sure you are comfortable with this before signing up for this bike ride!
