Description: Start New Hope Civitan Park. Restroom is available at the park. We will take the Paint Rock Road loop from New Hope around to Mill Road, though Kennamer Cove and Cathedral Caverns.

Expectations: Please make sure you are familiar with the route. Bring a cue sheet and/or navigational device and have the phone numbers of the Ride Leader and the phone number of at least one friend. Be aware that cell phone service can be spotty. Text message may be the best way to communicate during the ride.
