HI Everyone. I am planning an intermediate mtb ride for this Saturday 4/4 at 10AM. Meeting in front of MOxie in Lyons and riding from there up the Antelope Trail. We will ride to the top, do the lolipop and then down the rock garden and back to town. It will be a moderate pace, not fast but not grandpa slow either. If you are not comfortable with the rock garden you can go back down Antelope and meet us at Main Stage Brewery across from Moxie where we will end for a bevy and food.

I donāt feel sorry for youā¦Have fun
After years of riding my MTB as a gravel bike, Iām down to get it sorted and learn new skills.
Iām in. Going to shoot video instead of live talk. See yāall Saturdie.
āModerate Paceā to you? Or to middle aged non-ex-professionals? lol
One day Iāll join yāall, I need to get back into this.
Iām a maybe depending on moto ride plans that day. Iāll know tomorrow evening.
@mulebarn I have some trail building buddies who also worked for the county and they told me a ranger canāt really question anyone about their disability invisible or not. Iāll be curious to hear what you learn in that meeting. I see lots of people on ebikes up at Hall FWIW.
Come on outā¦Iām an old washed up pro that doesnāt like to pedal fast or canāt anymoreā¦

BMA at this point has trained patrollers to say nothing on eBikes, so thereās not much there. Correct.
This is part of a larger, longer-term push to get the county to pull their heads out of their asses about eMTB, but in the mean time, also sharing messaging and planting seeds to a wider audience about people like me, who have some invisible issue but donāt ālook handicapped.ā I have been aā¦ loud voice behind the scenes, and there are some things I canāt write publicly here.
Iāll share the video I shoot here for anyone intereted.

If Iām on the ride, it is by definition a no-drop ride. Never leave a homie behind. I ride with pro women all the time, and can assure you they know when to be kind to us. Right @ChrisMunro?

Can I join on the 500 if I canāt get the MTB sorted in time?
No
I figgered that since yāall were talking about inclusivity and e-bikes, youād be open to accommodating my petrodisability. Sad
