About this event

RIDE DESCRIPTION:

I just got back in town and decided I'd like to ride tomorrow. We'll leave from Mills River Brewing at noon on Sunday. The temps look like they'll be near 50 and cloudy. I'll be staying for food at the Brewery after the ride, if you'd like to join me.

This route loops around Etowah then finishes with an out and back on S Mills River Rd. With a couple of out and back segments this route is easy to cut short.

I plan to ride at a Level 4. This is a drop ride but we'll regroup at the Etowah Park rest stop - mile 21. Always ensure you have the route, can ride a Level 4 pace, and are fully self-sufficient to complete the ride on your own and have the ride leader's cell number if dropped.

Ride Level Characteristics from Choosing a BRBC Ride

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

PARKING CONSIDERATIONS: Park away from the entrance and in the grass lot to the right as you enter.

HYDRATION, NOURISHMENT AND AVAILABILITY OF RESTROOMS: Restrooms at MRB. Restrooms available at the rest stop (Etowah 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 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.
