National Trails Weekend – Big South Fork!

June 1 @ 9:00 am - June 2 @ 11:59 pm

Join us to celebrate National Trail Day with a weekend of fun at Big South Fork!!! We’ll camp at the group campsite, work with the Big South Fork Bike Club, and Ride BIKES!

CAMP (5/31-6/3)

Group site E1 at Bandy Creek Campground is reserved!!! First come, first serve camping. There are no hookups, but plenty of sites to choose from, and all are a leisurely stroll to the campfire, pavilion, and bathhouse. We reserved the group site from Friday afternoon (2 pm) to Monday (noon).

WORK (Saturday, June 1st)

We’ll meet at the Bandy Creek Visitors Center at 9am EST, Our good friends with the Big South Fork Bike Club will have our work projects ready, and AMBC will have all the tools you’ll need for the day. Bring a friend, sturdy shoes, safety glasses, and water! At noon we’ll meet back at Bandy Creek for Lunch and Beers.

EAT

Saturday lunch is provided by Joe and his crew with the Big South Fork Bike Club. Saturday Evening is a potluck, with REI providing the BBQ. Bring a side for 10, along with needed utensils. We’ll host dinner at the group site pavilion @ 7 pm!!! All other meals are on your own, so plan accordingly.

RIDE

6/1 From 2-4:30
AMBC Social Ride has organized 3 rides for all skill levels. Please register for the rides.
6/2 From 10-2
AMBC Joy Ride will lead a women’s only ride that explores parts of the IMBA Epic route. Please register for the ride. 
6/2 From 9 – Later
THE EPIC ride is also a Sunday option, this ride is not to be confused with the IMBA Epic route. The ride is one of legend, a ride that typically takes everything you can muster plus a bit more. Rarely repeated, uphills both ways and always a backcountry adventure, it’ll be EPIC. Those who are prepared for 30 miles of self-supported riding in the early summer heat are gonna love it. Each rider needs to pack a lunch, snacks, and a $20. We’ll be stopping for refreshments at our favorite backcountry lodge – Charit Creek Lodge
