About this event

https://ridewithgps.com/trips/306783503
Earlier this month I used a route I found on Ride with GPS to help me figure out how all the parts of the LH Trail work together by riding in a clockwise loop.
The route was pretty good except when it told me on several occasions to make a U Turn, while the map arrows lead me straight. There was also a confusing turn where I ended up on non trail private property.
I was planning to do another practice ride building on my July 11th ride to create a route good enough to be a PFW ride. Instead tonight's practice ride will be an official ride for those willing to do a bit of possible head scratching along the way to create a perfect PFW worthy route.
Gravel bikes are encouraged but tires 30mm or wider should have no problem on the ride.
A highlight will be riding the new 0.4-mile elevated boardwalk though Maidenhead Meadows near the historic Brearley House.

20.4 miles and 811 feet of vertical 15 miles are paved and 5.4 miles are gravel/unpaved.

A flat tire or mechanical issue could mean getting back near or after dusk, so bring a light just in case.
