Chris - Thanks for waiting for my late arrival and leading the ride last night. Great trails!

What is the trail difficulty? Or is it pretty easy riding for a noob?

[Gimpy00Wang]

Robinson is pretty beginner friendly. The pace, distance, and direction of things are big influencers on the difficulty. The rides we do at Robinson are no drop rides unless otherwise noted. We make sure we have everyone and regroup periodically. There are a few bail points and opportunities to shorten the route if needed.

Still riding tuesdays?

[Gimpy00Wang]

We'll be doing Monday nights for the fall -- starting Sep 20.

Why the change?

[Gimpy00Wang]

Why the change?

Various reasons. Monday just works out better for the ride leaders this time around. There's also a Wed night ride @ Shenipsit so having the Robinson ride on Mon makes it easier for people who want to do both.
