Briefing: 1410
KSU: 1430 - From the store we will proceed as a group to Parrie Haynes Ranch Hilltop Complex - Please ride with the group as this is very hard to find if you have not been there before.

Notes:
1. Please arrive at staging ON TIME & topped off.
2. Hydrate well prior, bring water for yourself and a buddy and dress with consideration of the weather conditions.

4. The road to Parrie Haynes Ranch consists of loose gravel, dirt and dust for 2.1 miles. If you are not comfortable with riding in these conditions you are welcome to cage it. THE BIKES DO GO FIRST!
