About this event

Here's your chance to try out your winter kit! Although sunny and not too windy, the temps will only be in the low to mid 40's. We won't do any significant climbing so we won't get overheated. This ride goes out Kanuga River Rd, loops (clockwise) around Etowah then returns via Evans and Kanuga River Rd. Etowah Park (with restrooms) is at mile 30 for a rest stop/regroup point.

TSide-Etowah-43 - 42.9mi/2,709ft elevation

Ride starts at Trailside Brewing at 873 Lenox Park Dr, Hendersonville NC 28739.

I will lead a slow Level 4 ride - around 14-15 mph avg. This is a regroup and no drop ride. Please contact me, if you have any questions about this ride.

Always ensure you have the route and are fully self-sufficient to complete the ride on your own and have the ride leader's cell number if dropped.

Registration is optional - so others can see who is riding.

PARKING CONSIDERATIONS: Park away from the entrances at Trailside.

HYDRATION, NOURISHMENT AND AVAILABILITY OF RESTROOMS: Restrooms and food available at Ecusta Market and Cafe.

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.
