To avoid the fires and smoke further south, we'll ride from Biltmore Lake on Thursday.

RIDE NAME:   LHC-Pisgah View 44
 

RWGPS LINK:  https://ridewithgps.com/routes/12598439      

RIDE DESCRIPTION:  Start from Lake Hills Church in Biltmore Lake. Ride through Beaverdam and over Hooker's Gap (big climb!).  We'll regroup as needed.  Also, we will be on some busy roads for a short time getting back to the church.  Bring enough snacks and water for the entire ride. 

B Pace ride - targeting 14-15 mph avg with 90 feet/mile on this route. This will be a Drop ride but we'll regroup as described above. 

PARKING CONSIDERATIONS: None.

HYDRATION, NOURISHMENT AND AVAILABILITY OF RESTROOMS:  If the church is open, restrooms at the start.

EQUIPMENT: Helmets and water bottles are mandatory. Have the route on your bike computer, phone, or printed cue sheet. Front-facing headlights and rear blinking lights are highly recommended for this ride and required on the Blue Ridge Parkway unless appropriate reflectors are attached. Your bike must be equipped with the necessary lights or reflectors in accordance with applicable North Carolina and federal law and statutes governing bicycles. You should be fully self-sufficient for repair of flat tires or small mechanical issues.

NOTE: All rides leave promptly at the time stated. Give yourself enough time (at least fifteen minutes) to get your bike unloaded and all geared up!

WEATHER: Please remember if the weather looks "iffy" or gets bad before the start date and time, then the ride leaders may not be there and you will be riding on your own. We will try to send out an email if that happens, but Western NC (and SC) is a very large area and some places could be sunshine and other places bad weather.
