Phillip’s rockstar cooldown lap – ADV+ MTB

OVERVIEW

We’re not really sure about where we are riding yet. But Phillip wanted one last big ride so we are aiming for 75 miles with 12k vertical. We’ll give ourselves the whole day to get this done.

***This is an advanced mountain biking trip. It is steep, rocky, and difficult riding. There can be areas without cell service if you need help. In addition, please consider that it will be cold and unpleasant if you get injured or need to bail on the ride. It also is particularly long mileage with plenty of climbing. Please only sign up if you are an advanced rider and prepared for the challenge***

The plan
10 pm: arrive at the Shred Shack
10:30: depart for trailhead
Saturday 5:00am: wake
5:45: start pedaling
I have no clue how long this will take me so I’ll stop the projections here
