a) You are not comfortable climbing for 45-60 mins. straight on gravel.
b) 4.5 miles and +1,300 foot gain is not your idea of “fun times.”
c) You ride fewer than 15 miles per week
d) You just want to save your legs for the RAD SINGLETRACK instead!
Sunday’s Group Ride will be Pinhoti 3. You can choose to ride out from Mulberry Gap OR take the shuttle to the Top of P3 ($15/person) and do the downhill only.
Please call or email with questions, (706) 698-2865) or reservations@mulberrygap.com.
