Carve was sick as hell last year, my sources say this year is likely to also be sick as hell.

I should be able to go. Not sure about the whole charging situation as I’ve never used a car charging station before so I just have a regular 120V 10A charger on me. Might bring the doggo but these rides look too long for my battery with the dog :confused: I only got a 12s8p.

12s8p should be fine. The routes should be within 15-20miles max round trip. And ride speed will be pretty slow, 15-20mph.

12s8p will likely get you 99% of the rides and back to your accommodation of choice. We are keeping all the official rides to right around 20 miles max and any of the rides like Saturday where the start isn’t the destination will have 120 and 240 charging and an appropriate amount of time to get rested, charged, feed and watered for the next leg.

Biggest thing is probably a good flashlight for any of the evening rides as they end near or just after sunset and we don’t want to lose anyone to the darkness :grin:.

Doggo will likely do great, we are making some small improvements to our planning so we are every eskate friendly, not just zoom friendly. Trying for enough leads and sweepers to make every route have a middle lead guiding the slower carving riders without having to have “fast rides” and “slow rides” with just the extra credit rides (unsanctioned unofficial) and special guest leads needing anything beyond the norm.

If you’re close to 20miles of range but on the fence, we will be trying to identify the charge spots at halfway points on the rides and doing triage charging by most needed. A couple of the leads - myself included will have universal input/ programmable output chargers to help get needy folks topped up too but you have to bring or request your adapter beforehand AND KNOW YOUR MAXIMUM CHARGE CURRENT.

Has to be an xt60 FEMAL to whatever charge cord you have like this lp20 one i use

Sounds good. I’ll have a look at my charge cable situation.
Also gotta look for pet friendly accommodation. Green Tortoise is not pet friendly :sob:
