Itinerary:

If you cannot get in town for Critical Mass: Join me after work for a much needed CHILL BIKE event on the Big Creek Greenway. We'll be hitting the route at 5:30 pm from the NORTH POINT PKWY G'way Trailhead  from there we'll be headed out to the Union Hill PopUp Skate Park where we'll turn around and head back to Marconi to do a few Marconi climbs. We will do a rolling re-group at that point, then head out - you gotta get 22 miles somehow :) 

Arrive about 10-15 minutes early for prep, intros and such.

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 #partypace - but that might not be everyone's party pace....

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 and a positive attitude...oh and a buff might be needed too - the gnats are getting crazy once you get beyond the Marconi area.
