Ride Blue Marsh- at only 45 minutes from the western part of the Valley, there is no reason to miss this. Looking to do the entire loop at a moderate pace starting from the Church Road access (Bernville Rd & Church Rd) but we may bail on the ski slope climb if the group is cooked at that point. I'm going to be trying out a monstercross setup (think cross bike with 29'er tires) so I'm not sure what to expect from that. In any case I won't have any suspension other than tire pressure so it should be entertaining to say the least. Rain or poor conditions will cancel, but post-ride goodies will be provided. If you have never ridden Blue Marsh, the terrain is mostly smooth hardpack with lots of small ups and downs to make your legs burn. A full loop is somewhere in the 25-35 mile range but there are bailouts along the way if the group thinks we need to bail. Should be a fun ride, but bring plenty of water and trail-food to keep you going until we get back to the cars for the post-ride goodies.
