how long will the total thing be? Iām 2 hours away so I just wanted to get a rough estimate of what time I will be back.
Iām about two hours away as well. Iām expecting the ride to take an hour and a half or so including rest time half way. Maybe a bit longer if anyone wants to get a Coke and some fries afterwards with me!

PARKING
There are two places to park.
PARK AND RIDE This is the park and ride just outside the state park. It sits directly on a segment of bike trail that goes directly to the park. If you have a higher watt hour board, as in more than 300 watt hours, this is where you want to go:
GEMINI SPRINGS STATE PARK aka Gemini Springs Dog Park. Ironiclly i donāt see a whole lot of dogs there, mostly people with balls and drones. This is the actual park. They also have parking. I figure the people with the lower watt hour boards may want to park there because the beautiful segment of trail that weāre showing up here for cuts directly through this park. Thereās a pavilion near a field next to the parking area that has a few outlets for charging, and trail access is right at the driveway.
My suggestion is that we meet IN THE PARK but park our cars in either place. ITs about a 5-15 minute board ride from the Park-n-ride to the actual park depending on how fast you ride. Itās worth it if you have the extra watt hours.
I will be there in a white LHB t-shirt with my crazy yellow board so i will be hard to miss. Iāll also have my regular derp helmet with the red skull and crossbones on it.
Me and the fam are camping out at the park saturday night and doing some midnight trail riding with our new sets of Shredlights. That is also and option if anyone else would like to join up for that. Hopefully we wonāt be eaten by bears.
Iām on a 177 watt hour board so Iāll be meeting in the park.
Is there a reason not to park in the park?
no big reason. Its just a longer ride on the trail from the park-n-ride that some people might enjoy before the actual meet. Iāll be parking at the park-n-ride and riding into the park in time for the meet up so we can corral everybody into a proper mob before engaging in proper mobbery.

i put a heat sink on the top of my deck so i can just pee on it when the board overheats and keep going. It requires that i drink a lot of soda though, which causes me to gain weight, which causes the vescs to do more work which causes more heating, so i have to pee more, which means i have to drink more coke, whichā¦

PRo Tip: Walmart sells these 150 amp twin outlet inverters that will push a typical 4Amp fast charger provided you wire it directly to the battery. We have one in the RAV4 right now. It would also be a good idea to keep the car running.
