Sunday ride at Harwoods!!! Whoo-hoo!!!!!! ***TENTATIVE ON WEATHER*** CHECK BACK SAT PM/SUN AM FOR CONFIRMATION - if it storms SUN morning or late late Sat pm consider it cancelled but I will update if weather hits us hard. If it holds out....we'll be out ridin :)

We'll meet in the parking lot right beyond the water.

This is a great trail for all riders!!! SO - If you haven't been out in a while or are just picking up mtn biking THIS IS THE RIDE FOR YOU!!! WE'll plan on doing two full laps... one for beginners and one fast for experienced riders.

It's time to get out there!!!! HOpe to see you there!!!

Location: Newport News

Description: Harwoods Mill consists of 3 trails of increasing difficulty (but in all honesty, they are all right there in the same category....nothing crazy) and no hilly terrain.

Trail Notes: Three single-track loops connected by fire roads. Loops are labelled Beginner, Advanced and Expert but the middle trail (Advanced) is harder than the "Expert." A tad over 5 miles if you ride all three trails. Some ups and downs, some tight turns but no really steep climbs or any technical sections that'll challenge an experienced rider. Great trail for beginners or just to get a bit of a workout, not so great if you're looking to test your skills.

Directions: From 64 Take J Clyde N. Exit, drive down a while, left on Oriana. Parking lot is on the left as soon as you go over the water (about 2 miles).

    I really like this trail - a bit thanks for all of you waited for me at the end of each section and especially for Mark, who missed his calling as a cheerleader at the end of the bike train. Look for this same ride next Sunday.
