A Fall Intermediate MTB Ride-Palos FP / 14-16 mi @ medium pace / Pravin Patel

We will ride the intermediate single tracks of the Palos FP at a medium pace. The trail side mid ride short break is after riding 10 miles. Please, bring water/snacks of your liking. I recommend elbow and knee/sheen pads and eye protection. Also, pack bug/insect spray. This is not a beginner’s/easy MTB ride. Solid mountain biking skills and physical fitness are necessary as trails have steady diet of climbs and descents and a few log rollovers and some stream crossings dips. A mountain bike with full suspension or a hard tail with 2.1” or wider tires is recommended. Eye protection is required while elbow and knee/shin pads are highly recommended. <br /><br />I will try to avoid the more popular busy trails to avoid bikers and explore less frequently biked the Canal trails. <br /><br />Karen Kiley will sweep the ride. <br /><br />Use the GPS coordinates provided in the listing for the Saganaskee Slough Boat Launch (west) parking lot. Please, call or text me if you are running late for traffic or having trouble finding
