Bike to the creek for creekathon

OVERVIEW

Hello,

Are you not a big fan of driving or riding in cars? Do you like immersing yourself in nature whilst traveling from point A to point B rather than locking yourself in a motorized death cage made of glass and metal? If you said yes to these questions, then you should bike to creekathon with Patrick Brown and I. We did this last year, and it went pretty well, so we wanna try again! The route is very beautiful, and is mainly back roads so you don’t have to worry much about cars. If you want to see it, here is the strava I took for it last year: https://www.strava.com/activities/8943341959. It is a little steep at some points, and we will be on roads without bike lanes, so that’s why I listed it as intermediate. If you have any questions about if this is right for you or not, or if you have any other questions, please reach out to patrick or I via text. Please note that you will also likely have to bike back from creekathon, we can organize how we wanna approach this once we have everyone who wants to go — we will make sure nobody bikes back alone.

All that being said, if you wanna come and need help securing/repairing a bike. Please also reach out to us, we want you to be able to come and will try to help you as best we can! Ideally, since this is a road biking trip, you would have a more enjoyable time on a bike with relatively small tires (road/racing style-gravel/hybrid tires) and no/minimal suspension, especially since it is kinda hilly, and so we can try to stick together. We are meeting at the shrack so that we can make sure all our bikes are ready to go (inflated, lubed, etc.).

Also, if you join the waitlist for this trip, you will likely be able to come. So, when you join, make sure to go to the trip description for the main carpool to creekathon and change your response to the survey to signify that you will NOT drive and that you will NOT ride in a car.
