MTB Fall Weekend Trip---WAITLIST

THIS IS THE WATILIST FOR THIS EVENT. USE THIS AS EXPLAINED AT THE GENERAL MEETING.

Howdy Shredders!

Owen and I will be leading a mountain biking trip to Copper Harbor, Michigan. Located in the Upper Peninsula on the shores of Lake Superior, the views (hopefully still some fall colors) should be spectacular! The trails in this area are some of the best in the region and unlike anything else in the midwest. They range from intermediate to advanced. You can check out some of the trails here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXbPMkxnSOg&t=312s.

This waitlist will open on Tuesday, October 15th at 9pm. The following Sunday, after the last intermediate ride of the week, participants with the required MTB2 rating will be moved to a seperate event to sign up and pay for the event in the order of the waitlist. Assuming the trip is completely full and we use the fleet vehicle we have reserved, expect to pay $80 into RecHub within 24 hours of being moved off of the waitlist. You will need to venmo the trip leaders for gas and the campsite (which unfortunately only takes cash) after the trip. The total amount paid (including venmo) will not exceed $150, and it is expected to be less. Unless we get 2 additional fleet drivers (which is the goal and would open the trip to 5 participants), the trip will be open to 3 participants. If you are fleet certified, you may be given priority to attend this trip. If you have questions about fleet certification, consult hooferleaders.org or the trip leaders. If you have questions about the incredibly rare circumstance of fast-tracking, contact biking@hooferouting.org. If you have general questions contact the leaders (biking@hooferouting.org).

Itinerary:

Friday 2pm: Leave Madison and drive ~6.5hrs to camp in Copper Harbor, MI.

Saturday: Ride all day on the West Bluff trails, continue to camp in Copper Harbor.

Sunday: Ride at East Bluff until noon-ish, drive ~6.5hrs back to Madison.

Note: If the weather and trail conditions do not cooperate, we will camp and ride somewhere other than Copper Harbor. The gales of late fall in this area are no joke. 

There is a required pre-trip meeting on Tuesday 10/22 at 8pm in the leader offices outside the Mendota Lodge of Memorial Union.
