Ride Groups:
Group - 1 Brown Mountain OHV Trails 
Ride leader Timmy – so seriously plan to trailer your bikes to OHV cause that’s what I am doing. 
10 - riders max
This group is heading into Brown Mountain OHV Park. This is real trail riding. This is where riders go to learn they are absolutely terrible riders. The trails are hard, the terrain is unforgiving, and the mountain does not care how confident you felt signing up.
Several riders may not make it back on their own power. Some may not make it back emotionally.
Full transparency. If you end up stuck stranded or questioning your life choices, there is a strong chance my poor riding ability is the reason. I may say follow me. That may have been a mistake.
This ride is optional. Very optional.

Group - 2 Adventure Aggressive
Ride leader 
Ten riders max
This group will chase what Lance calls the good stuff. Expect elevation rocks sketchy climbs fast decisions and moments where you wonder if another group would have been smarter. This is not sightseeing. This is adventure riding with intent.

Group 3 Big Bike Friendly
 Ride Leader Andrea will be leading Group 3 and will most likely be on her KLX300. Before anyone panics no this is not a dirt bike death march. Everything she rides is big bike friendly whether you believe that or not.

Expect a route that leans heavy on gravel and light on pavement with a proper lunch stop because we are not animals and several scenic stops for photo ops so everyone can prove to the internet they were actually there.

Andrea is an amazing rider and absolute proof that ladies make the best ride leaders. Smooth pace smart lines and somehow always knows where the good food is.

You can guarantee good lunch great pics and there is a very real chance you will receive a complimentary tin foil hat after the ride. Wear it proudly.

Same style and intent as Group 3. This group exists because the other one filled up and everyone suddenly decided they wanted a reasonable ride.

Weekend Flow

Friday afternoon 1-4 PM..ish  will include an optional shorter shake down ride for those arriving early. This ride is designed to make you feel confident right before Saturday humbles you. Dinner will be provided Friday evening so show up early or be hungry.

Saturday is the main event. Groups will head out based on your selected ride group and comfort level. Expect great riding questionable lines and even better stories when everyone gets back.

Saturday night dinner will be provided followed by storytelling, exaggeration, light heckling, and advice from people who should not be giving advice.

Sunday morning wraps things up with breakfast before everyone heads home sore tired and already talking about next year like they forgot what just happened.
