Are bikes needed? Just wondering if this is all running/treking or if there is riding involved. I'm planning on bringing it, just checking though.

Great training... Thanks to Spencer and Mike for all the preparation!!!

Great job by all those who attended, I think this group is as ready as any we've taken to Gilmore.
