Autumn Endurance Echelon

[William Wolverton]

Tomorrow is the start of a 5 week long group ride series featuring some of the best mountain bike trails in the triad. This endurance group ride begins tomorrow at 10am. The milage will increase over the coming weeks, so week 1 (tomorrow) will be the shortest ride of all. Roughly 22km in total. That’s a mix of gravel, greenway and single track. All paces are welcome but please understand that this is NOT a no drop ride. Check out the official event listing on facebook for more details. Please tell your friends and come out to enjoy the beautiful fall weather!

Week one of the inaugural Autumn Endurance Echelon is in the books! It was a great ride with some great friends! The route was just shy of 22km in distance. 

Now on to week two which will be this Sunday if the trails dry out in time. Please check https://piedmontfattire.org/ for trail statuses. If the trails are closed the ride will be postponed, if they are green it is a go for this weekend. The forecast is calling for three days of sunshine between now and then, so we should be good. 

Route: This Sunday at 10am from 701 Hill Street Greensboro NC we are planning on riding to Copperhead and completing 1 full lap. Then heading up to Wild Turkey out and back. The distance will be just north of 35km. 

Disclaimer: This is not technically a no drop ride, but we will do our best to wait for all the riders in the group. Make sure to pack accordingly In terms of nutrition, hydration and tools. Helmets required. There is no waiver or rider sign up for this ride, so by joining you acknowledge that cycling can be dangerous and specifically mountain biking. Each rider is responsible for their safety and their bike. 

Feel free to bring friends, family, spouses etc. This is not a race it’s a group ride, and we only have 4 weeks left! Let’s enjoy this beautiful fall weather. There is not a cap on the number of riders we can have, so the more the better! See you all there and have a great week in the meantime!
