I am somewhat familiar with K-Town as I lived there for three years a while back, but I did not bike much back then. I have ridden in Rodalben and Hochspeyer ...

I'm meeting up with some riders from Ramstein tomorrow to head out to Rodalben, I'm meeting them at the west gate at noon, then we are heading out. I know it's later than usual but I want to bring new riders into the fold so we can grow our numbers. If you want to ride but don't want to meet at the west gate then meet at the Lidl p-lot at around 12:30ish. Probably will do the "A" side of the F trail...see ya tomorrow.

Anyone interested? It will most likely take place on a Saturday in the am.
