Itinerary:

BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN
Join me after work for a much needed cycling event on the Big Creek Greenway. We'll be hitting the route at 4:45pm from the North Point Pkwy Trailhead - from there we'll be headed out to the Union Hill PopUp Skate Park where we'll turn around and head home. We will do one Marconi Hill Repeat (just to do a rolling re-group after we hit it for the second time). Arrive a few minutes early for prep, intros and such.
It's been rainy as you know...so wider tires, attention to your lines and maybe a fender might be in order.

Also, if you're not familiar with the route, please visit these updated web sites; as we may or may not be grouped together due to varying fitness levels, my avg pace will be moderate since I'm training for some upcoming BIKEPACKING... #partypace

This ride is best on a road bike, but can be completed on any mechanically sound bike of your choice...I'll be on my bikepacking gravel bike, so choose your weapon carefully!
Bring a helmet, layers and a positive attitude.
