For anyone interested in some Skyline training (which I am, since I'm doing
Tour de Skyline in a few weeks), I'm planning a group ride Wednesday morning
of next week (4/14) on the drive.
It'll be what I'm calling a mixed distance "Chase the Rabbit" ride. A group
will be leaving from Haymarket at 9am to caravan out, with a goal of being
on our bikes by just after 10. There will also be some riders meeting us
out at Skyline. We'll split up into 3 groups, all starting from the Dickey
Ridge welcome center at mile 4.5.
Group C (The Rabbits) - Head directly south from Dickey Ridge, ride to
Elkwallow at mile 24, then return to Dickey Ridge.
Group B (First Chase Group) -- Descend to the gate, ride back up, ride to
Elkwallow at mile 24, then return to Dickey Ridge.
Group A (Second Chase Group) - Descend to the gate, ride back up, head past
Elkwallow at mile 24, then out to 211, then return to Dickey Ridge.
Let's see who gets back first!!!
