AERC Ride Description Form – Green Bean Endurance

AERC Ride Descriptions

Let's build a repository of ride descriptions so new (and seasoned) green beans can learn a bit more about your ride.

MNDRA Ride Managers: If you don't have the information or aren't sure how to find it, just leave it blank. I (Deb) will fill in the missing information. If you already sent me the ride flyer, you don't need to send it it again here. My biggest goal was to get the detailed camping and trails information.
