It's fun, the hills are at an absolute minimum, and it's camping on flat ground with a pavilion, picnic tables, and grills. This quick overnight trip is a celebration of bringing people together to ride bikes and camp outdoors. You don't need 14,000ft peaks, you don't have to be a racer, you don't have to ride 3000 miles, you don't need to spend money on the newest equipment. Use what you have, and reach out if you need to borrow camping equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut your brakes do have to work and helmets are required! Each rider is responsible for their own food and shelter. This trip is for all fitness levels and all body types and is excellent for first-timers because it's 2 days and 1 night with 25 miles of riding and 1000ft of hill climbing in total. That means 10 miles there, 10 miles back, and food stops from the campsite are 5 miles round trip. This is a sunshine-preferred ride. Our storm date will be one day \u003cem\u003eearlier\u003c\/em\u003e, from Friday the 19th - Saturday the 20th.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe price this trip at the minimum to cover insurance costs and make a donation to the community park we're staying in.
