    Default 2019 Vsalon Nomads ride

    2019 Vsalon Nomads ride

    Location: Michaux SF, PA
    What: A gathering of the VSalon Nomads.
    Why: NATURE G-DAMNIT!!!

    It's on: June 7 (friday arrive) to June 10 (depart in the morning)
    Soon we will announce specific details for making camping reservations.
    The camp site is fantastic, has: showers, elect. , water at each site. RVs, Trailers and Tents allowed.
    To be part of this you must camp no exceptions unless you live nearby and bring alot of beer.
    There is only ONE first time for anything. This is it.

    To help set the mood read on....

    Plan on bringing your A game. Friday we will stretch the legs and test/tune to make sure nobody has parts falling off your bike. Saturday we leave NLT 9 for 100 miles of 90%+ gravel / mixed terrain riding in and around Michaux SF. Plan on about 100' gain for each mile. It is a no joke ride with zero support, you must be self sufficient in terms of repairs/food/water/fitness. You must have a GPS that works and know how to use it. The ride might take 10 hrs. plan accordingly. There will be clean water at some point...details to follow. *Very important and I will repeat this nonstop. Nobody rides alone dot period each and every one of us knows how that works.

    Tires and gearing deserve a special note: yes. Kidding. Don't even think about doing this on less than 32, 35 with a bit of tread is just right. Gearing is your call, I'm running compact 32X40. It is a long day.

    Sunday, if there is anything left of you, we will pretend to do a small road ride.
    Monday is leaving day :(

    Other things to consider:
    -Local farms are outtasight
    -Campers who share food go to heaven twice.
