As some of y’all may have heard, there is a short little MTB race in GWNF on Sunday called the SM100. I did the race last year and would like to go watch this year’s participants suffer toward the end of the day while I enjoy a nice, party pace ride and I want y’all to join me.
We will be heading out of Cville in the morning around 1000 and driving out to Stokesville, where the race will be held. When we get there, we will ride our bikes (off course) to a good watching location. At this point, plan to consume the beverage of your choice while watching people question their sanity before heading back down some gnarly singletrack to the car. We’ll return to Cville at some point that night, but I wouldn’t bet on any time before 8.
I haven’t picked out a route yet but I have a couple of ideas in mind. All involve technical, backcountry singletrack which is why you must be an advanced rider to join. This is also expected to be a 20+ mi ride with 3000+ feet of climbing. Sufficient fitness to complete the ride is required. We will also be riding technical, backcountry trails so you must be at least a high intermediate to advanced rider, technically, to come.
The weather is looking a little sketchy. I don’t plan to cancel for rain but will for a significant threat of thunderstorms.
Finally, if we have more than 2 people, I’ll need another driver. Put down your car info when you answer questions and we’ll figure that out from there.
I will waitlist everyone initially and let people off at my discretion. If you are unsure if you qualify, email me, text me (804-912-0206) or sign up and I’ll contact you.
