Cedar Falls Trailhead. Time to be determines.  All details communicated to course participants ahead of the trip

This is a required one day field trip to do a shakedown of your bikepacking gear (bags and all overnight gear), test ride your loaded bike and gauge your current fitness riding a loaded bike.

We will spend about an hour at the trailhead loading all the gear into your bike bags and loading the bags on the bikes, then ride a few miles along the trail to a nice open area where we will set-up a mock camp, have lunch and then return to the trailhead.
