Itinerary:
We'll ride Issaqueena Lake Mountain Bike Trail and a few others nearby.

I hit this area last year and was impressed. The trail is mostly singletrack, easy (for advanced riders but fun), fast and flowing much like local Atlanta trails Blanket's Creek, Yellow River and Chicopee. This IS NOT Pisgah (not technical, not hilly).

Carpool Cost: Estimated cost per vehicle for this event is $80.00 using a reimbursement rate guideline of $0.400 per mile. The total amount should be divided by the number of people in the vehicle, including the driver. This is a guideline, not a rule, for drivers but the cost should not be higher unless there are extenuating circumstances.

Notes:
All water and food is on your own, no camp stoves, pots, pans, etc. will be provided (but you may bring your own). Firepits exist, if you wish to cook, but we'll be heading to town (5 miles) for dinner. Plenty of grocery stores, fast food, etc. nearby to visit before and after riding.
