One way is 65 miles, 2,500 ft elevation from the southeast part of town (RADIO/EAST on Montopolis Dr.) This will be a no drop ride, but there may be points where riders spread out into separate groups. We will stop before major turns and highway crossings and regroup.

💜 Gear: Sleeping system (shelter, sleeping bag, pad), cooking gear, clothing for riding, lounging, and sleeping. Bike lights, bike repair items, bike snacks. If you need to borrow camping and or cycling gear, fill that out on the survey. 

💧 Food & Water: During the ride to Palmetto we will have a stop in Lockhart for lunch. On the way back, we will take a different route and stop in Dale. We recommend packing 1 dinner, 1 breakfast, snacks, and a lunch if not intending to buy lunch in Lockhart/Dale. There is water at camp and along the route.
