Session #1 Details:
Looking forward to kicking off the 2025 riding season! This session is great for P2A first-timers and veterans. We’ll be on-site for the majority of the session with an emphasis on getting reacquainted with riding alongside others while going up and down various gravel terrain.
- Ride as a group to “Barber Scout Camp side trail”.
- Session (~40 min total) = up and down the side trail, with technical focus, periodically regrouping.
- Technical focus:
- Climbing technique, gear selections, etc.
- Pinch points, line choice, overtaking, etc.
- Pacing your effort
Bringing lights is always a good idea.
