RIDE NAME:   ARP-Beech Glen Center 29

RWGPS LINK:ARP-Beech Glen 29

RIDE DESCRIPTION:   An exploration of the backroads between the French Broad River at Alexander and the Beech Glen area.  While moderately hilly, none of the climbs are steep or lengthy.  We will regroup as appropriate. A Level 5 ride.

PARKING CONSIDERATIONS:   Ample parking should be available at Alexander River Park.  

HYDRATION, NOURISHMENT AND AVAILABILITY OF RESTROOMS:  Bring plenty of water and snacks as desired.  No facilities are available at Alexander River Park.  We will make a mid-ride stop at the Beech Glen Community Center.   

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 selfsufficient 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.
