RIDE NAME:  ARP - Rectors Revenge Alexander Park

RWGPS LINK:Rectors Revenge 

RIDE DESCRIPTION: This Level 6 ride explores both sides of the French Broad River between Alexander and Marshall.  The first portion climbs a series of hills but no horribly steep ones. After climbing up to Rectors Corner, there is a twisty descent to Marshall, where we may stop for refreshments at On Your Bike.  Finally, we will ride along the river back to Alexander.

PARKING CONSIDERATIONS:  There is parking at Alexander River Park.  

HYDRATION, NOURISHMENT AND AVAILABILITY OF RESTROOMS: Bring plenty of water and snacks if desired.  There are no facilities at Alexander River Park, but they are available in Marshall.

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.
