About this event
The forecast says it will be 47º and sunny at noon on Tuesday - and warm up to 53º! Hard to believe it with the cold snap this Sunday.
We'll leave from Trailside Brewing past Lake Osceola, heading to Flat Rock down Little River Rd. We'll ride the little dip on Howard Gap Loop on our way to climb Lamb Mountain (a moderate climb and the most significant climb on this route). We'll stop at Griffin's Grocery for a well-earned rest stop at mile 27. The remainder of this route is relatively flat, as we loop through Fruitland, then Dana, to return to Trailside.
I'm targeting a 14.5 mph avg pace (slower climbing, faster descending). Art will aim for 15.5mph avg. We'll regroup at the halfway point (Griffin's Grocery) and as needed. 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.
Registration is optional - so others can see who is riding.
PARKING CONSIDERATIONS: Park away from the entrance.
HYDRATION, NOURISHMENT AND AVAILABILITY OF RESTROOMS: Restrooms at Ecusta Cafe.
EQUIPMENT: Helmets and water bottles are mandatory. Have the route on your bike computer or phone. Front facing headlights and rear blinking lights are highly recommended for this ride. You should be fully self-sufficient for repair of flat tires or small mechanical issues.
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.
