RIDE NAME:  DLS - WD40 - Alt

RWGPS LINK: DLS-WD40-ALT

RIDE DESCRIPTION: This No Drop ride explores the back roads from Weaverville up to Mars Hill and Beech Glen.  About 73' of climbing, although none of the climbs are particularly long or steep.  There will be rides at Level 5 and Level 6 over the same route.. I plan to average about 13.7 mph on the Level 5 ride, and the Level 6 ride will likely be a little slower. 

PARKING CONSIDERATIONS:  There is plenty of parking, but please park as far away from the stores as possible.  

HYDRATION, NOURISHMENT AND AVAILABILITY OF RESTROOMS: For restrooms, we pass near two gas stations as well as Beech Glen Community Center which may be open.  Bring plenty of water and snacks as desired.    

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.
