RIDE DESCRIPTON: Plan on 9 miles, 900+ feet of elevation gain and about 2 hours of ride (moving) time at an old farts pace. We will visit the McCall cemetery and regroup periodically as needed.
WAIVER: Your ride leader will have a RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT which every participant will need to read and sign.
NOTE: All rides leave promptly at the time stated. Give yourself enough time (at least 15 minutes) to get your bike unloaded and all geared up. Please remember if the weather looks "iffy" or gets bad before the start date and time, then the ride leader may not be there and you may be riding on your own.
HYDRATION, NOURISHMENT AND AVAILABILITY OF RESTROOMS: Nothing is available.
EQUIPMENT: Helmets and water bottles are mandatory. You should be fully self-sufficient for repair of flat tires and small mechanical issues.
