About this event
With the unusually warm forecast for Saturday, let's try the Etowah Double Ride again. Each ride is 50 miles - you can join us for either or both! Bud and I will be riding both to complete a century. Willie is leading a slower group on the 8:30am ride. If you want to do the afternoon ride with Bud, be ready to start at 11:45am.

Ride 2 - 50 miles/2,083 ft

Dawn plans to ride a 15-16 mph avg moving pace, Pace Level 3. Bud plans to ride a 16-17 mph avg moving pace, Pace Level 2. For Ride 1 at 8:30 only, Willie plans to ride a 14ish mph avg moving pace, Pace Level 4. We'll regroup as needed but will be on a schedule so we can finish before dark. Both of us will ride a gentle century pace.
Always ensure you have the route, are fully self-sufficient to complete the ride on your own, and have the ride leader's cell number if dropped. Contact either ride leader if you have any questions.
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. 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. Western NC (and SC) is a very large area and some places could be sunshine and other places bad weather.
