RIDE NAME: ARP-Random WVL with Rosenwald School O & B
Ride with GPS Link
RIDE DESCRIPTION: Not so hilly pleasant ride from the river up to almost Mars Hill with a quick out and back to the historic Rosenwald School. This is a slightly faster version of the Level 6/7 ride posted by Peter Adams. I expect to average around 13.0 mph.
[Note- I had first posted 14.0 but then I looked at the last time I did this ride, and I changed it to 13., which was my pace last time.]
PLEASE REGISTER BELOW so we know how many to expect.
PARKING CONSIDERATIONS: Parking can be limited. Use both sides of the street if necessary
HYDRATION, NOURISHMENT: There are limited places to buy water and snacks , so be prepared.
AVAILABILITY OF RESTROOMS:
There are no restrooms at the start.
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.
