RIDE NAME: Cancelled (Show and Go) BMP Rise and Grind 22 - Level 1/2 - 1400ft
RWGPS LINK:
Fletcher Fat Burner
RIDE DESCRIPTION:
Had some mechanical issues on Saturday ride, had to leave my bike at the shop. Not coming out for this one, if you want to ride, you do it on your own! Nice rural loop through Fletcher and Edneyville. Terry's Gap and Howard gap are the only major climbs. Early start means low traffic, cool temps and possibility of wildlife sightings.
Front headlights (not DRL) and tail lights are required for this ride as we will arrive back to the park at or before sunrise. This is a drop ride with no regroups and no rest stops.
PARKING CONSIDERATIONS: Park along the approach road near the bathrooms
HYDRATION, NOURISHMENT AND AVAILABILITY OF RESTROOMS: Restrooms, water bottle fill station and bike repair stand are all available at Bill Moore Park
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 required for this ride, you will not be considered part of the group and be asked to leave if you do not have appropriate lights for this ride. 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 is a very large area and some places could be sunshine and other places bad weather.
