Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

Blankets Creek!

The mountain bike trails have something for all. Beginner to advanced trails can accommodate anyone who has a mountain bike. As for me, I'm no expert till we finish and head to Sixes Tavern for some beverages.

Ride starts promptly at 6:30 and we can split into groups per rider level.  I have no problem leading the beginner or intermediate bikers; however, you experts are on your own to be back by the designated time.  I ride in the rain; however, if they close the triails i will let everyone know ASAP.

*******
I recommend everyone staying for Food and Beverages; however, it is not required to come.
