Swift Campout weekend! It’ll be a fairly standard (lovely!) overnight at Hitchcock Nature Center. We’ll leave from the shop around 2pm on Saturday the 24th, and take a meandering and somewhat challenging 35 mile/2k climbing route (difficulty 7 out of 10, 60% gravel, ride with gps here)—we’ll stop in Honey Creek at the Aeroplane Inn (bar food and beverages), ~mile 30 along the route. Minimum 35mm tire width/volume required due to the gravel roads along the route. This is not a supported ride and is at your own risk, you are responsible for yourself. Please RSVP below so so we can plan accordingly with the campsite. There is a waiver below, please read, and by clicking “submit”, you agree to and acknowledge the terms. A recommended $10 cash donation day off for campsite fee and firewood. Water and latrine at the campsite, bring your own food for dinner saturday night and breakfast sunday morning, also bring food for during the ride. Ride home Sunday morning will be a shortened version, ~25 miles. Will post that soon.
