Details (RL read field instructions carefully):
The woods will not be as cold as the road with the wind chill factor but dress appropriately ... esp. your hands ... the rest of you will heat up quickly as you ride.
Cathedral Pines has a good deal of technical and hilly sections BUT there are also milder single track sections that many riders can handle when keeping the speed down. Come along and I will be more than willing to wait if you want to walk any section that you feel is above your pay grade!
Lots of the trail is pretty wide and ticks will not be a problem unless you dive into the bush ... Also, I will have bug spray available before the ride.
For faster and more skilled riders be there at 9 to ride with Steve ... you will be out ahead of the group I lead as we will go at the slowest rider's pace. No one will be left behind in the woods!
