Easier paced-Intermediate Skills-Single-track Ride / ~10-12 mi @ slower pace / George Pastorino

This will be an easier single-track ride through some of the most beautiful areas of Palos Forest Preserve. I will lead this ride from time to time when my arthritic shoulders allow. They are not an issue on the road or tandem bikes but a big deal on single track. Route will vary based on the current condition of the trails and the ride leader. We will probably get about 12 miles and ride these single track trails, Pipeline, Nuclear Loop, Sections of Campground, Stair Steps, Grass hill, Connector, Bullwhip, Hickory Smoked, Maple Lake East, Resurrection (if dry) and Road Kill. Easy Pace, but intermediate MTB handling skills required. Bathroom and food break at the Bullfrog Lake Campground. Pussanee will sweep and no one left behind. Eye protection required. Body armor is optional. Please note that all pedal assist and throttle E bikes regardless of class are not allowed on any single track at Palos Forest Preserves. This is by order of The Forest Preserve District of Cook County which is the Land Manager with jurisdiction over the entire trail System and has nothing to do with EBC or the ride leader
