Wake up, take a Rez hit (Intermediate mtb at the reservoir)

OVERVIEW

The coy whisper of the morning breeze, sweetly laden with the cool of the lake, speaks to you on this Friday: “what are you doing in bed?” it asks. “Get up; go meet Mason and the others — they’re taking rez hits, and getting higher than anyone in Charlottesville. Go, and take a rip.”

Though sweet she may be, one should note that the breeze is by nature mischievous, and her message easily misconstrued. The Rez is a moniker for the Reservoir; we ‘hit the rez’ by visiting the reservoir for a trip. On this trip, we will also visit Round Top Mountain, one of the highest points of elevation in cville. Thus, we will get higher than anyone else in town. I clarify these things so that nobody affiliates our club with drugs (and who in their right mind would do that, right?)

RELEVANT INFORMATION:
The trip is technically an intermediate trip, but the trails are pretty friendly. You just need some basic familiarity with a mountain bike and the fitness to ride at a relaxed pace for a couple of hours. We’ll meet at the Shred Shack, 116 Washington Ave, and ride out to the trail system, where we will circumnavigate the lake. The total distance will be something like 10 miles, and we will be back before noon.
