October is our month to get into some real adventure on two wheels. This time, we’re crossing the U.P. boarder and riding our friend Dave Schlabowske’s route Wild Watersmeet. If you are a member of The Nxrth (definitely recommended!) you can see the full route info here: https://tinyurl.com/yc8sxuhe

As of now, the plan is to ride for 3 nights/4 days. Signup will be posted here closer to the event.
For the trip, you’ll need:
– Your bike
– Tires fit to help you ride confidently in widely-varied terrain (think 2.3″ or wider)
– Shelter/sleeping gear
– Food (although there will be places to eat along the way, be prepared to sustain yourself, and bringing a stove is recommended)
– A large water filter will be provided for the whole group, but having one for yourself can make things easier
– A change of cloths for mid-October weather in the U.P. (i.e. be ready for anything!)
– $20 admission (details will be sent via email to those who sign up)
– A positive attitude
