Rides are self supported, at your own risk, no aid, no sag. Ride at your own pace, no pace lines. You are 100% responsible for you own bike and your own safety. Prepare as if you are riding alone. Helmets are required.

The scheduled ride is from the Weatherford trailhead to the Garner Trailhead, and then head back to the start. This is approximately 22 miles (11 miles one way). However, this is a casual ride. Everyone rides at their own pace, and you can ride shorter if desired. Be sure you are comfortable riding alone and choosing the best pace and distance for your current abilities. Meet back up at the parking lot after the ride. This is a gravel/crushed stone path with gentle grades. There are a few places (not many) with larger rocks or pot holes to navigate.

**WHERE WE MEET:** We start riding promptly at the indicated meetup time. Our start will be at the trailhead parking lot in Weatherford. Turn onto Cartwright Park Road from Peaster Hwy, travel two tenths mile, and the entrance to the trailhead parking will be on your left. Please arrive in time to prepare your gear for a prompt start. (Note: This is satellite parking in Weatherford TX. It is not inside the main part of the state park.)

**FEE/RESERVATIONS:** $7 day use fee. Please get a day pass reservation online prior to coming out. Stop by the self pay station at the trailhead. Fill out the self pay form and write your day use reservation number in the "Pass Number" field as proof of payment. Attach the white top copy to the inside of your windshield as proof of payment, and place the yellow envelope inside the slot on the payment box. See the state park website for reservation information.
