Fun time as always, I am thankful that I was able to make it to this one! Thanks to everyone for making it a good time!

It was a beautiful day to be in the woods, I enjoyed seeing everyone, we had a great turn out.

Thank you ride leaders @Carson @Glenn Rides After 4 PM CST @jimvreeland and sweepers.

CR is in great shape due to a strong Jorba chapter leader, @Kirt and a solid group of volunteers. Support your local trails by being a Jorba member and volunteering when you can to work on trails.

Really enjoyed my first MTBNJ group ride, thanks to @pooriggy for organizing and all the members who helped keeping me on trail. Really looking forward to riding Chimney Rock A LOT more often.

Thank you to @Santapez and @MissJR for sweeping the beginner-ish ride. The sweeps are unsung heros until someone gets lost or dropped. Then there is hell to pay. Thank you for keeping everyone together and being patient.

Awesome time today, great seeing everyone! Big thanks to Glenn for leading and Iggy and Mitch for sweeping and providing entertainment. This was my first time at Chimney Rock since the last group ride there in 2019, and the trails are better now than they were then. Kudos Kirt, JORBA, High Tech, and all the volunteers.

This may have been the easiest and most stress free ride I've ever swept.

@ChrisG total bad ass.

Folks it was fun! And thanks for peeling my butt off the couch. 🙃
Unfortunately had to skip the after party. But maybe I can convince myself to get back into this pedaling thing now that the park season is coming to an end. See you guys next time around.

It was a great morning in the woods with many friends, old and new. Weather was perfect and the trails were in amazing shape, thanks to @Kirt and the efforts of many others.

@Glenn Rides After 4 PM CST led us on an excellent loop, giving a nice tour of what the Rock has to offer.

Bummed I missed this. Looks like a great time had by all. Catch ya on the next one.

Looks like a great ride from pics and strava data. Sorry I missed but limited weekends at creek steered me there (even after I told @MissJR I'd be there in Trader Joes)

Looks like an awesome time was had by all, I'd definitely be down for another one!

Would be curious to see a strava log from anyone on the ride, in particular beginners.

Thanks!

Thanks Dan! That is SUPER helpful. Based solely on the elevation gain and pace (without even considering the trail itself), the social intermediate would have been more fun for me. Good to know for next time! -kj-

I swept the "beginner/chill-paced ride"... We had a little bit of a gap going between front and back in some spots but not too bad overall.

MissJR. perfect. Thanks. I would have enjoyed that. Way more climbing than I'm used to in that distance, but, I think it would have worked out!

Sorry to have missed this!

Damn, I need to pay closer attention to this forum. Kicking myself that I missed this. Was riding there the day before and then same day but at 4. I think I would have been right at home in the social or middle pace.
