About this event
An amazing forecast for Tuesday - 60º with sun and a little wind! Let's go ride Pinnacle Mtn, again!
We'll leave from Trailside Brewing and ride through apple orchards to Tuxedo, climb Mt Olivet Rd, descend Pinnacle Mtn Rd, go through Flat Rock, loop around to the west over Indian Cove to return to Trailside. Tuxedo Park (restrooms) will be our first pre-climb rest stop, mile 17, before we climb up Mt Olivet Rd. Our second stop will be at the Etowah Horse Shoe Firehouse (no amenities), mile 38.5, before we climb up to Jones Gap.
Dawn is targeting a 13.5 mph avg pace (slower climbing, faster descending), pace level 4. Gayle is targeting a 15 mph avg pace, pace level 3. We'll regroup at the rest stops 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.
EQUIPMENT: Helmets are mandatory. Have the route on your bike computer or phone. Front facing headlights and rear blinking lights are highly recommended for all rides. 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.
