Will there be led rides or a marked loop? I'm planning on coming down but haven't ridden there before.

Thanks,
Jaime

It's a led ride so bring your A Game!

Awesome, thanks for the info, Mark!

Since it's a ~4 hour ride, is there anyplace to re-supply during the ride or should I plan to carry enough food/water for the whole enchilada?

Cheers, Jaime

Jamie, you might want to send a note to Al Tinti or contact the ride leaders. I would plan on brining everything with if it were me.

There are led rides of about 25 and 20 miles planned (with bail-out opportunities). We haven't discussed any re-supply points, so bring all the food and water you'll need for the ride you plan to do. The weather looks to be about perfect.
