Casual pace. Think "fun" not fast. "Laughs" not burning lungs. LIGHTS NOT REQUIRED - we are back long before dark.
** Sign-up if you plan to ride. If no sign-ups, then ride most likely gets cancelled. (login to sign-up) **
Opportunity for beginners to ride along (you'll need basic mountain bike handling skills down at least - "ready" position, shifting, braking, "look where you want to go" but happy to give tips) - we can split up so that those who don't want to ride intermediate singletrack can ride the Caddy Whomper Way corridor instead (we'd re-group about 1 mile later to ride as group again). It's hard to get lost since just the one trail! NOBODY GETS LEFT BEHIND!
