Our next ride will be on Friday, 11/8 when we will explore FSR 64, new to this group. We will meet at Camp Todd at 10AM and start riding at 10:15. See the Google map below for driving directions, including a couple of miles on dirt FSR 95.

This is an out-and-back ride, totaling 18 miles with 2,000 ft of climbing. The first four+ miles will be on FSR 85, a steady climb on a good dirt road. This will be our first time riding FSR 64 so expect a bumpy forest road and bring your MTB for comfort. E-bikes are welcome and non-E-bikes will set the overall pace. See the Ride with GPS map below for the full out-and-back route. We’ll take breaks and plan to be back at the cars by 2pm. Since this is an out-and-back, you have the option to ride faster, or ride slower and ride less than the full route, as long as you manage your time to arrive back at the cars by the agreed upon time.
Current forecast (one week outlook) is for partly cloudy and temperature in the 60s. Bring lunch/snacks, sunscreen and water.

All equipment will be provided, but please wear gloves, sturdy footwear, and blaze orange (it’s the first day of rifle hunting) as well as bring water and food to keep your energy up.
Love Ridge Mountain Lodging has generously partnered with us to provide FREE camping for volunteers helping with trail maintenance on Friday and Saturday. Folks are encouraged to hang out, camp, and enjoy the weekend on the trails while giving back. Interested in staying in a cabin? They are available for rent here at loveridgeva.com.
Love Ridge will officially open the lodge on Sunday the 17th, and anyone who chooses to ride the next morning can enjoy wreath making and hot cider from 12-4pm.
