Outpost / Swift, Summer Solstice Campout 2019.

For the fifth year in a row, Swift Campout is on the horizon. And for the second year Outpost Richmond is participating.

Swift Campout is a global call for folks all over the world to go bike-camping on June 22nd. Pack your camp gear and join us to pedal to camp for a night under starry skies.

This year we are putting on a beginner-focused ride to Pocahontas State Park. We’ve worked out a low traffic route and booked the campsites. All you have to do is sign up, show up and ride out.

The ride will be leaving from Outpost Richmond Saturday, June 22nd at 3pm. The route is a low traffic, 18 mile ride that is paved until you get to the park. Once we reach the park boundary the ride is on fire road so tires that are 35mm wide or more are suggested.

A map and GPS file of the route to the park can be found HERE and the return route is HERE. We will have this available at the shop as well. Show up with your GPS device and we’ll load it up for you.

Once at the park we’ll set up camp and chill. Dinner (vegetarian) will be provided. Feel free to bring your own provisions if you want to cook as well.

Sunday morning we’ll get up eat breakfast (also provided and also vegetarian) and for those who want to get in some bonus miles before riding home, we’ll do a short gravel ride around the park.

If you plan to attend make sure to register. It’s $10 per person and $20 for families, includes camping and covers both meals.
