Re: Re: Re: SORBA ride at Lock 4 Sunday April 5th.

Steve,

I'll think about it for sure!! I have done several Jack and Back rides and they are sensational bike trips with great support.

Will you and Still Chris be able to make it to some of Wade's mtn rides in April? Or will you be mostly road riding? If you get a chance to do the DSG pre-ride it is third weekend in April. That course puts Long Hunter to shame!! Plus, it'll give you a feel for what to expect at the event on May 9th. If you like Jack and Back you'd LOVE this festive shindig!! How about you and Still Chris commit to DSG and I'll commit to Jack and Back??!!

Glad to hear your feet are doing well and looking forward to seeing you next Sunday!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for clear, warm weather!!

Have a great week,
Yvonne

What IS the DSG ride Yvonne? I might commit if I knew what it was (maybe Chris too). Then we could hold you to the Jack and Back! I'm going to be doing plenty of mountain biking. Have to get ready for the Muddy Buddy adventure race in late May. Definitely pray for great weather for next weekend! Should be lots of fun.

DSG

The DSG is the Dirt, Sweat & Gears. It's a 12-hour mountain bike race held each May in Fayetteville. It's a huge event with more in "door" prizes than purse money. But the pro's and personalities come out as well. (I think I wrote about this in the newsletter)

The website is dirtsweatandgears.com and there's a whole section of nationalmountainbike.com for DSG.

Race 12 hours solo, or on a team. Good clean fun, except for the dirt mud sweat and beers.

The course in a 10.6 mile loop with 1600' or so of climbing per lap. It is private and only open on certain dates.

anything else?

Maybe you know it by "Cotton Mill Preserve" as that's where the IMBA/SORBA trail care crew was Feb 21/22 this year.

I was there too. Darryl and I had a beer.
