Sunday, Oct 1 &#8211; Going the distance<\/a><\/h2>\n<h3>Austin Bike | www.bikemojo.com<\/h3>\n<p>PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS A TRAINING RIDE, NOT A PRE-RIDE.<br \/>\nPre-rides are to learn the trails, we have held one for each trail so far. This is a training ride to get people used to long mountain bike rides, because completing the EB is not as much about knowing the trails as it is being able to sit in the saddle for 10+ hours.<br \/>\nThis ride will be at a moderate pace, we will occasionally stop and regroup, but they will be short regroups every few miles, not the more frequent ones from pre-rides. Everyone will be expected to keep up or self-drop.<br \/>\nPack enough nutrition and water for the route, there is only one place to stop (at the bottom of Jester, 40+ miles in). Please make sure someone knows you will be out and can pick you up if things go sideways for you.<br \/>\nHere is the plan: &#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">#meetup_oembed .mu_clearfix:after { visibility: hidden;
