    Default Need guides for Illiniwek 11/2 or 11/3

    Weather pending obviously, looking to get my feet wet with illinwek!!! Never ridden it (long climbs arent my strong suit lol) and now I feel confident enough to ride out there.

    Looking for anyone that has time/desire to ride illinwek with me.

    Saturday or sunday whichever works best, 10am or so.

    Let me know who wants to join and what time/day works best.

    Weather permitting I would be interested. Even if no one shows up, is a very fluid trail system that is easy to figure out. Start your uphill on the south trail system, it's the best one to get your feet wet.

    I could go Sunday. The climbs aren't really bad. There are only 2 of them (or 4 if you ride both clockwise and counterclockwise).

    I can do either Saturday or Sunday and yes starting on the south end is the best way to go, but if you start on top on the south end get warmed up and then do the hills it makes for a much better ride.

    Vonda has them. I should be there at 10am. Finally fixed my Voodoo, but may show up on my fat bike to try my new Jones bars on trails.
