Chickadee #3: THIS SATURDAY October 3rd, 8am

REMINDER: This Saturday, October 3rd, is the third and final Chickadee event of 2009. Come excited, prepared, hydrated, and fueled. Bring money, a cell phone, and a positive mental attitude.

This is truly a great route that incorporates many favorite trails. Details, maps and instructions will be distributed at the start.

Start: 8am, Tahoe-Donner Downhill Ski Area parking lot on the corner of Slalom and Snowpeak
Finish: BEHIND Cyclepaths, look for the tired cyclists drinking beer in the shade
Specs: 35miles/4 hours, mostly singletrack, some fireroad, some pavement
Route: Easy to follow, mostly well known trails
Bike to bring: Mountain bike, preferably singlespeed, but gears will certainly be tolerated
Reminders: This is an unsupported fun ride. Most riders will have a camelback, or 2 large bottles on the bike with possibly a third in a jersey pocket. Bring PLENTY of food (e.g. Extra drink mix, bars, gels, blocks, etc). Halfway through the ride there is a fire house where you can get water, or a store where you can buy food/drink.

Hope to see you there!
