About this event

Join us for a flexible bike ride departing April 1 from Fort Hunter at 5:30 PM. Street address is 5300 North Front St, and we will gather near the pavilion on the river side.

This ride will head east on Fishing Creek Valley Rd, and allow you to choose your own distance & pace. Sunset will arrive at 7:32 PM and Civil Twilight at 7:59 PM, so our goal is to have all riders back at Fort Hunter by no later than 7:45 PM.

The Ride Leader will maintain a C pace of 11 mph to 13 mph and go as far as the brown garage at the top of the hill at mile 10. The return route will be include a jaunt up to Heckton & back, for a total of 20.8 miles and 900 ft of elevation climb. We will not be going up Sleepy Hollow Rd.

Riders who want to go faster could go further out to Manada Gap Gospel Church (23 miles round trip w/o Heckton) or even out to Manada Golf Course (25 miles round trip w/o Heckton).

Make sure you bring lights for your bike. If there is a need to cancel, I will do so before 4:30 PM.

For questions, contact ride leader Chris Wright at cjwright1919@gmail.com, or the phone number listed in the Club Directory.
