McCormick Observatory, McCormick Road, Charlottesville, VA, USA
There’s something about taking already leaf-covered singletrack and throwing in snow and ice; it’s quite the interesting slidey experience. So before the rain probably wipes out the rest of the snow later this week, join Sujith and I for some slidely ohill action. And it’ll be 50 degrees, basically no reason not to come.
This will be an intermediate trip, so we won’t be going over the basics as we would on a beginner trip, but we won’t be doing anything crazy and definitely am happy to share tips. This trip is targeted for people who have done at least two or three rides, and now feel confident on beginner trails. If you’re on the fence about it, feel free to reach out.
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)
– Gloves (optional, $10 utility gloves work great)
– Closed-toe shoes
– Weather appropriate clothing
What the club will provide:
– Bikes
– Helmets
The plan:
1:45pm – meet at the shred shack a grab a bike for everyone
2:00pm – be riding
3:15pm – head back to shrack
