Meet in parking area at 6:30 and ready to ride shortly after that. Water/ food at mile 16, 55 and 70ish. Temps looks better but plan accordingly. Ride is starting early as it is going to reach 80 in the afternoon so hoping to avoid most of the heat by going early. We may take a longer break at mile 55 or 70 time to eat something more than snacks. New route for me but the same climb up Rochester w/ the pave at the top and then we go right to Brandon Gap w/ a stop in Rochester. Carpool if you can. That is the only adventure on the ride that I know of but the forest roads are less traveled and can be rough so gravel bike recommended.
Plan on a dunk in the White River to cool off afterwards and a trip to Worthy Burger on the way home. This will be a full day ride so plan accordingly.
