Description of Rides:
These rides are both rated "advanced", and suitable for self sufficient riders. The leader will be going at a moderate pace, with lots of stops to enjoy views and snacking. The route includes several hard climbs. Faster riders, slower riders, and people doing the shorter ride should have a map of the area and be self sufficient. If doing the longer ride, bring food for lunch. The route is TBD, but the longer ride will most likely ride the new trail in both uphill and downhill directions.
