Stokesville big day (ADV+ MTB)

OVERVIEW

This trip is not a concrete plan or itinerary, but rather looking to see if anyone else wants to do a full-day ride this weekend. I’m pretty flexible on most details. I’d probably rather ride on Saturday but could do Sunday too (would just need to be back a bit earlier). In terms of location, I have some potential routes mapped out in either the Confederate Breastworks/Elliot Knob area or Stokesville area. The aspiration with riding for the whole day is that we’d be able to get 55-70 miles and 8-11k’. But, if that sounds like too much let me know what you think you may be able to do. All of the routes are pretty centralized so easy to bail on.

Update: Now there’s a plan, here is the route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/44360294.

The plan
9 pm: arrive at the Shred Shack
9:30: gear pickup, depart for trailhead
Saturday 5:45am: wake
6:30am: start pedaling
I have no clue how long this will take so I’ll stop the projections here, but should be the whole day
