Team Virtus has organized a training ride at the Berryman this Saturday. We’re going to have at least 5 Hoosier Daddies there and are hereby inviting anyone and everyone to come and join us for what should be a great ride. We will get there by 8:00 a.m. and start riding no later than 8:30 a.m.. The Berryman is about a 35 minute drive from Sullivan near Steelville. It’s 24 miles of some of the best single track in Missouri. There are a couple of places that horses have recently messed up, but overall the trail is in very good condition. If you don’t think you are up for 24 miles, don’t worry, there are plenty of fire roads to shortcut the loop and get you back to the campground (we will bring some extra maps).

We will be bringing enough brats, burgers, and beer for everyone so the post ride festivities promise to be a good time. We are expecting at least 20 people thus far and possibly as many as 30. There will be riders of all skill and fitness levels there so you have no excuse not to join in. Seriously, this is going to be a awesome ride and you don’t want to miss it, so dust off your bike and come on out to the Berryman for some fun with friends old and new. We’ll see you there!

You guys rock! Can’t wait for this ride. We may have to come up with a replacement for the word “epic” after this ride. I’ll bring some brats and buns and beer too. See you guys soon!

Thanks Luke. This is in our backyard so the least we can do is grill a few dogs and provide some carb replacement. We should have everything covered, but it never hurts to have extra. We’re pumped about the ride, I’ve never ridden in a line of 30 people before. Those damn horse riders better make way.

I’ve got lots of cookies! I’ll leave them in someone else’s car so you guys don’t have to wait an extra 6 hours for me to catch up with you all at the end.

That was amazing! Seriously. Thanks so much, guys. That’s the most fun I’ve had in a long time.

We had a blast as well. We have to make MLK2 a camping trip so we can all have as much fun as Bob did
We’re also hoping to make the CAC and Cedar cross, but we’re still checking schedules.
