Friday Morning Forest-Roads Ride

In case of event changes, make sure your Meetup settings allow you to receive email updates for this group, including start time and location, and new comments and chat messages.

Our next ride will be on Friday, 10/4 when we will ride an out-and-back on Long Run Rd, Dictum Ridge and Second Mountain trails. We will meet at the parking area/trailhead at 9 AM (see the driving map link below), and plan to start riding at 9:15 AM.

This is one of our easier Forest Road rides with 2,000 ft of climbing in 14 miles. The Long Run Road portion is very smooth, fine gravel, and the two “trails” are typical dirt forest roads. E-bikes are welcome but non-E-bikes will set the overall pace. MTBs are always recommended though you’ll be fine with a gravel bike on this route. See the Ride with GPS map below for the riding route. We'll take breaks, and plan to be back at the cars by 1pm. Since this is an out-and-back, you have the option to ride faster, or ride slower and ride less than the full route, as long as you manage your time to arrive back at the cars by the agreed upon time.

Current forecast is for temperature in the mid 70s and partly cloudy. Bring snacks and water.
