Ride Summary: If you’ve been to one of our Solstice Campouts then you know the drill. If not, here’s the skinny: we’re loading up our bikes and lollygagging over to our friends at Low Meadow Farms for a night under the stars.
Sounds pretty great right? Wait, it gets better…
Appethai will serve up grub, Xul will bring the brews and Jessica Watson and Duck Ryan will provide the tunes. Breakfast will be provided by Rachel Ray Honeycutt with REA Downtown.
We’ll be leading two rides/routes: the ‘classic road’ and the ‘all-terrain.
The 'classic road' route is a little over 9 miles and is on low traffic roads and greenways. Expect rolling, mildly challenging terrain. The 'all-terrain' route is a little over 13 miles and includes sections of Urban Wilderness single track, suitable for MTB or a capable person on a gravel bike.
ALL THIS FOR $30!!! But spots are limited. REGISTER HERE!
This is a 21+ ride.

Distance/Elevation: 9.2mi/552ft (classic road), 13.7mi/1237ft (all-terrain) — distance is one-way

Rider Expectations:
