[this is not an official EMBA ride - just looking for some company to enjoy the ride with]

Interested in sessioning and working on confidence to try tech features (mostly rock and roots) on lower OTG (an 'easy' black but has the less technical parts of the trail) and Atlas (a spicy blue)? I'll be sessioning some features and possibly running one or both trails more than once to build progression and confidence. Happy to share tips/tricks and talk through lines etc. and work on sections you want to progress on. Major features are walkable as well.

Recommend to have some experience on tech trails and/or comfort on less technical trails as speed (eg side hustle, popping tops, Ferdinand). Plan to stop and work on some of the more challenging features a bit. May extend the ride to include Tiger summit (blue) and upper OTG (more technical black depending on group and how folks feel); larger features on these trails are walkable if needed. Pads and if you have a full face helmet recommend; full suspension in biking good working order required. Expect 2.5-4 hours ride time based on group dynamics and pace. Climb pace is a 'spirited social pace' w regroups and we will regroup as safe on descents. 

plan to roll from upper Tiger parking/bathroom area at 9:00 sharp. Bring tool kit and plenty of food and water. Layers and a rain coat look like good additions just in case. Feel free to text me if you have questions or want more info on trails or if this is for for you (206-910-0230). 

Tiger Summit trailhead location (aka the new parking lot): 47.46795,-121.9363
