Trail Tuesday casual style (Beginners welcomed)... at Williamson Preserve

PLEASE CHECK https://www.trianglemtb.com/ FOR TRAIL STATUS.*
If the trail is closed the ride is canceled.

BEGINNERS ARE WELCOME.
This is a CASUAL no drop ride at Williamson for riders of all skill levels....HOWEVER.... this is not a KOM Strava race type of ride. If you want to set a PR this is NOT the ride for you.
If you are new to riding this is the ride for you.
If you are not new to riding but enjoy rides with NO pressure and where riders goof off and have a great time this is the ride for you.

We will split into 2 or 3 groups if there are enough riders.... a faster casual group, a normal casual group, and a super casual/beginner group.
ALL groups will be no drop and will stop to regroup to ensure no one is left behind.

We will meet between 5:30-5:45pm and hit the trail at 6:00pm.
Traffic sucks on the way to Williamson so give yourself more time to get there then you think you will need.

We will meet at the white barn on the opposite side of the church from the main trail head parking lot. Parking here is by special permission for the ride. (Parking here without special permission from TLC is not allowed and considered trespassing so please only park here with TLC's permission.)
PLEASE SEE THE LINK BELOW FOR PARKING. DO NOT PARK AT THE REGULAR PARKING LOT.
