Itinerary:

Join me after work for a much needed cycling event on the Big Creek Greenway. Probably the last one for a while - with DLST falling back this coming weekend. We'll be hitting the route at 5:30 p.m.from the North Point (NP) Mall/Ethan Allen Trailhead - from there we'll be headed out 2 the Union Hill (UH) PopUp Skate Park where we'll turn around and head back @2NP. We will do a few Marconi Hill Repeat + climb up to Change HC offices. Arrive a few minutes early for prep, intros and such.

TWO things about the ride Tuesday...One it will be dark as we wrap up...you will NEED a light! TWO, It rained this weekend, so having wider tires, attention to your lines and maybe a fender might be in order. Watch those leaves y'all.

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.

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.
