Hey all.
I am a member of CLIMB and planning an inaugural Ultimate Ride on 5 LI Trails.
The information:
Ride Begins @ 8 AM at Stillwell
Cost: a lot of calories
Date: June 14th
Trails:
Stillwell
Edgewood
Glacier Ridge
Cathedral Pines
Rocky Point
There will be (at least) 3 different grade levels; Advanced, Intermediate, Beginner.
Advanced are without a ride leader. They head out and do the all/most of trail (some minor cuts will be made IF needed for time constraints).
Intermediates will do many diamonds routes but not all. The ride will be lead by a leader (and possibly a sweeper).
Beginners will ride mostly the main loops and POSSIBLY some easy diamond routes.
The way it works:
Everybody will meet at Stillwell before the 8:00 first ride. Check in and the first group will head out. When the final group is in, the group would load up and head off to trail 2. The same format, sign in, ride, load up and go...
Afterwards:
There is a little watering hole that sells a good burger and cold brews (soda) for a little survivors party. This is 100% optional and is not an actual part of the event; it is just a place to tell war stories. It is on the way back towards the LIE (about 6 miles off the last trail).
All are invited!
If anybody has any questions, I am usually on the climb forums. www.climbonline.org (handle = buttah).
