THE 411
Meet at Boyd Gap parking area. It is 1.8 miles beyond the Ocoee Whitewater Center (OWC) on the RIGHT. Please remove any belongings from your vehicle that might tempt a thief and leave them at your house. Cars have been broken into in the past including mine. They stole a towel and a pair of my boyfriend's shorts. I am guessing they were naked and just got out of the shower. Ha!
Following the ride, we will have a cookout at the OWC. If you would like for your family or any friends to join you for food, tell them to be at the picnic area across the bridge at 5pm. We should be done well before then. YOU MUST SUPPLY YOUR OWN FOOD AND GRILLING STUFF! THERE ARE GRILLS THERE. BRING CHARCOAL, ETC...
This will be the last beginner clinic of the summer.

THE TRAIL
This trail is 8 miles long. It is located just above the OWC. It is rolling and tight in sections. It is not technical. If you have ridden Harrison Bay and all of its roots you can ride this with no problems. It has one technical spot and one long downhill at the beginning. There are several bridges that as long as they are dry are no problem, but if it has rained, they will be slick. This trail flows well.

THE NECESSITIES
1.Please remember to bring your bike. If you have not ridden it in a while, please take it to your local shop and get a tune-up. Trailside maintenance will not be part of this course!
2. Bring a helmet!! If you do not bring a helmet, you do not get to ride!!! Helmets are cheaper than hospital visits. Go to your local shop and pick one up.
3. Wear proper shoes. Tennis shoes are fine if you do not own cycling shoes. Just don't show up in Chacos, Crocs, flip-flops, etc. I would like for you to keep all of your little piggies.
4. Water! Lots of water!! It will be hot, damn hot! If you pass out, I might be tempted to push you into the lake and pretend I do not know you. Also, be sure to bring bicycle water bottles and not your Nalgene bottle. They do not fit in water bottle cages. If you do not own water bottle cages and bottles, again, hit up the cycling gurus at your local shop for these items.
