These rides will be more of a relaxed group ride than our usual breakneck pace. The paths range from unimproved to paved. Almost any utility bike will do. I have ridden all these paths on my Schwinn with road tires and made it thru.
 For question or more info please e-mail rrkite99@aol.com. I do ride in light rain and if conditions are really horrible often will hike instead of riding.
