Intermediate MTB: Storm King

April 28, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Organizer Susanita (202) 413-2693

This is an early season intermediate mountain bike ride from the visitor center. There are a few rocky sections that most people walk … I walk them! We’ll keep an intermediate pace with frequent stops to regroup. We’ll probably get more spread out when we’re climbing because everyone has their own climbing pace but as soon as possible after a climb we’ll regroup. NO ONE WILL BE LEFT BEHIND.

This isn’t a technical trail but it does involve about half a mile of climbing at a grade of around 7%. You can see the elevation profile in the rwgps link.

From the visitor center we’ll take the tunnel to catch & release. From C&R we intersect with lower storm king. Going up lower storm king starts out as a very low grade continuous climb. Then after crossing a stream it’s about half a mile of switchback climbing. Regroup at the top and head down to the big intersection with Funner and Tiddlywinks. Walk some rocks and continue on lower storm king.

After crossing the road we continue on lower storm king to COD then ticket to ride south back to the visitor center.

Overall not technical. The rocks to walk are very obvious. And all but serious rock hoppers will be walking them with you!
