Knock the Rust Off Ride

2021 Knock the Rust Off Ride

April 17, 2021  (April 24  rainday)

Ride Description:

Three phases of riding will allow all participants to “knock the rust off” after a long winter . . . .

Phase one will be a short group ride to the Crossroads Church parking lot. Bathrooms will not be available at the

church so please go before we leave Wendy’s. Once there, coned courses will get us back in the practice of balancing,

cornering, avoidance, and braking with each portion removing a bit more of the winter rust. Each of the courses are

designed to be more difficult/challenging/enjoyable. After our practicing is complete, but way before we’re too tired

to continue, we will have a group ride out to Wilmington on paved country roads, allowing all to get reacquainted with

“one-up” and “two-up” group riding. In Wilmington we will stop for lunch at the 73 Grill to refuel our bodies and to talk

and laugh about our trip thus far. After lunch we will return to Powder Keg via more country roads, where kickstands

will be down.

This is a CLOSED chapter event – members are allowed to bring one guest.
