Recap/Results

Dozen riders last night for the Kyle's Bikes Wednesday Night MTB Ride. It was kind of cold and very windy! Kept the group together for the majority of the ride, and worked in a few sprints (without losing anyone) here and there. We even managed to have the majority of the group "mutiny" and include the High Life loop, even though the sprinters skipped it, and everyone made it back. :-) 



Description

Mountain Biking

Distance - About 8 or 9 miles

UPDATE (Wednesday): Tonight's ride is a go! It is cold out there today and supposed to be colder by ride time, so we are hoping for some nice, crispy trails. Bring warm gloves and a sturdy jacket; the forecast calls for significant winds.


UPDATE (Tuesday): The forecast was iffy, but keeps getting better! As of now, we are ON for a mtb ride.

Kyle loves mountain biking. And mountain biking is fun. So for the fall and winter, the Kyle's Bikes Wednesday Night Ride is a mountain bike ride on Sycamore Trail!


Meet us at the trail. The "north gravel lot" is off 66th Avenue, just west of the river and east of the Johnston Soccer Fields. If the gravel lot is full, you can park in the paved Neal Smith Trail lot on the east side of the river and ride the protected bike/ped trail on the bridge.


Gather at 7:30 p.m. We will roll out at 7:45.


The pace will vary depending on who shows up. We may split into smaller groups if the group is large or there is a significant difference in paces. We vary the route a little each time, but regardless of route, we regroup at the following points:

  1. Double Track (by the gravel pit)
  2. Fish Camp (confluence of Beaver Creek and Des Moines River)
  3. Turnaround (the paved Trestle to Trestle Trail)
  4. Fish Camp
  5. Double Track


If you've not ridden at Sycamore before and are concerned about getting lost, find Katherine, Kyer, or Kyle before the ride and let them know. We can find you a buddy. :-) We don't want to lose anyone! Getting lost is *not* fun.


BRING LIGHTS. Running into things is *not* fun.


We do not ride wet trails. Nor during blizzards. Watch our Facebook page carefully for updates. Or join our Facebook group!
