The latest forecast looks like we may be in for rain (remember rain?) tomorrow morning. I'll send an update no later than 7 AM if there's any change to the plan for the Tuesday Morning Ride.
What a great ride we had, nice easy pace, plenty of chit chat, no one blowing up the ride. There were 10 of us. 41 miles in the beautiful countryside.
Thank you Mike we had a lot of fun.

Just a reminder that our 2nd Annual Mystic Farm Distillery Ride is less than 3 weeks away.
Last year we had 150-175 riders. ALL CLUBS AND RIDERS ARE WELCOME TO JOIN!
This year we've added a 47-mile route along with the 63- and 31-mile routes like last year. We'll be offering 6 different paced groups as well so plenty of options will be available.
MAKE SURE TO JOIN US FOR THE POST RIDE PARTY AT MYSTIC FOR SOME PIZZA, DRINKS AND SOME GREAT CONVERSATION.
Please sign up if you plan to attend!
We're finalizing details so stay posted for all updates coming soon.
I'm going to be leading a 20-21 group for the Platinum ride tonight. All other pace options remain. We have struggled to get participation on the C group 19m at 15-16 mph. If no one shows up for the C tonight we will be removing that option going forward.

I will be running this every Sunday as long as I am not oncall for work and as long as there isn't an event ride for that Sunday. I want to encourage people to ride the event rides when possible to support the communities for which they ride. I encourage anyone wanting to do the ride whether I am there or not to step up and lead the ride in my place.

Reminder that our New River Trail ride out of Galax, VA is this Saturday.
Weather is looking perfect! High 70's to low 80's with partly cloudy skies and mild winds. Could not ask for a better day to enjoy this beautiful trail.
All details have been posted on our calendar so make sure to read what is expected. Any questions you may have can be answered in my post. If you're an A or B rider or anything in between, you're welcome to join us for this fun chill ride.
We'll meet at the main trailhead parking lot. Just look for the red caboose.
As a courtesy, please either sign up or let me know via text or email that you plan to attend. My cell is 919-616-9704. If you would like to do something different while enjoying the mountains and streams of Virginia, this is your ride!

Looks like this weekend for many is not good for a destination ride so this ride is unfortunately cancelled. We'll try again on Saturday, May 16th when we ride the New River Trail!

A reminder that our Pilot Mountain Ride is this Saturday!
Going to be an excellent day weather wise to enjoy the mountains and I promise there will be no BRIM Roads, (the road from hell), on this route. This route is a lot tamer than our Squirrel Spur ride a few weeks ago.
We'll also have Sean as our SAG.
I ask that you click ATTEND if you want to join us so I can plan ahead. We've been getting large numbers attending our destination rides. Let's make it happen again!
