116 Washington Avenue - A.K.A. Shred Shack
Shrack
McCormick Observatory, McCormick Road, Charlottesville, VA, USA
Forecast says 40 degrees and maybe a bit of a break in the clouds. Given the winter we’re having, I’d say that (plus no snow on the ground) is the perfect recipe to get out and bike. This trip is for people who have done at least two or three rides, and now feel confident on beginner trails. If you are unsure about coming on this trip feel free to text us (number can be found by clicking on profile). If you don’t have your own mountain bike or helmet, let me know on the trip questionnaire and we’ll try to secure you a club bike/helmet. Everyone will be waitlisted for this trip initially and depending on bike availability individuals will be taken off the waitlist accordingly.
What you need:
– Water (Either a bottle that will fit in a bottle cage, or bring a small backpack/hip pack to hold it or ODC can provide a pack)
– Gloves (optional but recommended, $10 utility gloves work great)
– Closed-toe shoes
– Weather appropriate clothing
What the club will provide:
– Bikes
– Helmets
The plan:
– 400 meet at the shrack and get bikes ready
– 415 bike to Heyward
– 530 get back to shrack and put bikes away
