SUMMARY:WTFNB Bikepacking with Cola Town Bike Collective in South Carolina - REGISTRATION CLOSED
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”teammateRow”][vc_column width=”1/4″ el_class=”teammateImage”][vc_single_image image=”71806″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” image_hovers=”false”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″ el_class=”teammateDescription”][vc_row_inner el_class=”TeammateContent”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=””] \n\n\n\n\nOne night overnight bikepacking trip. This route is a nearly flat\, gravel trail.  \nDistance to campsite is 5-9 miles out\, depending on site availability. Primitive campsite (no bathroom)\, but supply stop for food and drinks at about 6.5 miles from the trailhead (1-2 miles from the campsite).   \n  \nOn Day 1\, the group will meet at the Alston Trailhead and ride together to the campsite\, where they will set up camp. Then\, anyone interested in continuing to ride will finish the rest of the trail (an additional 11ish miles). For the rest of the day\, we will hang out at the campsite and may ride back and forth to Wilson’s for snacks and dinner. Plan is to stop at Wilson’s gas station to purchase dinner (hamburgers\, bbq sandwiches) and snacks/ drinks for the night; however\, if you have significant dietary restrictions\, please pack your own items that fit your needs. Day 2\, after breakfast and coffee\, the group will break down camp\, help transport any trash to dumpsters at Wilson’s\, then ride 5 miles back to the trail head.  \n  \nThis is a Women/Trans/Femme/Non-Binary bikepacking trip. Do not let lack of gear stop you- Cola Town Bike Collective has resources for borrowing items. All participants must be 18 years or older and participate at their own risk.  \n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

This is a favorite trip from the Rides with Friends series.\n\nThe route\, depending on any variations the group may choose\, is about 60 miles with about 500′ of climbing over two days.\nWe cross the Black Rock Desert Playa to Double Hot Springs\, an important stop along the California Emigrant Trail.\nThen we make our way along the base of the Black Rock Range to climb to the micro-playas above Black Rock Point.\nThis hanging playa has the magical quality of making you feel like you are in the most remote place possible. But you are only 30 miles into the trip.\n\nDay 2 will be 25-35 miles with negligible climbing to return to the vehicles at 12 Mile.\nWe will be on desert roads through the boundary dunes through a very geothermally active zone.\n\nThis is a dry route\, so you must carry all your water needs\, 4-5 L recommended.\n\nWe will have our post-trip meal at Bruno’s in Gerlach.\n\nHope you can make it!\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Intermediate Overnighter Mountain Biking the AZT with Campfire Cycling in Arizona
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”teammateRow”][vc_column width=”1/4″ el_class=”teammateImage”][vc_single_image image=”71550″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” image_hovers=”false”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″ el_class=”teammateDescription”][vc_row_inner el_class=”TeammateContent”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=””]***If you would like to join this ride but it is cost-prohibitive to do so or if you need to borrow gear to make it happen\, please contact the folks at Campfire Cycling. \nFrom the folks at Campfire Cycling: \nWe’re trying a new to us route this time around. We’re gonna do an out-and-back on the AZT! This will be a mountain biking trip\, so we recommend you use a hardtail or full suspension mountain bike with 2.3 tires or bigger for comfort and grip. \nThis trip does have some challenges to it (challenging singletrack terrain riding\, sandy loose terrain\, rocks\, steep climbs\, some hike-a-bike) and no resupplies except for water at Kentucky Camp. \nThe terrain is almost all singletrack with a short section of Gravel/paved Roads. \nWe’ll be riding mostly uphill the first day (it will be a long\, difficult day and expect some hike-a-bike. The 2nd day will be trending downhill with some fun riding back to the cars\, making the first day worth it! Beyond the beautiful riding\, we plan to check out Kentucky camp as well as the Gin House cabin if time permits. \nWe will be self-supported and do not have plans for a sag wagon to join us. There will not be water at camp; however\, there is water and restrooms available at Kentucky Camp\, 2-3 miles from our expected camping spot\, and we will stop there on the way out in the morning as well. \nWe will be passing near the borderlands. This is an area of human migration\, and we recommend reading this article from Sarah Swallow’s Sky Islands page and scrolling down to the “Borders and Human Migration” section\, and reading through the 3 articles and familiarizing yourselves. If you would like to get involved\, we recommend that you check out No More Deaths and send them some Donations! \nWe will be contacting everyone who signs up for the ride to make sure they are prepared for the ride. \nWe will be parking our cars and meeting at the start of the route at Senoita Hwy and Sahuarita Road. We’re also happy to help arrange carpools to use as few cars as possible.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
