A friend of the shop has graciously offered the use of their private residence as a staging and hang our area for this ride. To that end, we have changed the starting and ending location!
From our host:
There is a big barn and a large yard where you can park pretty much anywhere. The barn has a bathroom on the top floor (with a light that works but periodically turns off). We never lock the barn, people can use the bathroom or barn to change or whatever. We are at the top of a cliff but there are about 50 stairs down to the lake where people can swim. It’s a beautiful and quiet spot to hang and group up.
Our schedule remains the same for the day, we are asking folks to RSVP to help us stay organized. Please do so in the original post:
