9/19 - End of Season Ride

The time has come. :( Our “End of Season” ride will be this Monday on September 19th. Even if you haven't been able to make it out all season, we would love for everyone to come down and celebrate a great year!

It will be the PERFECT ride for anyone that has wanted to come out through the year but hasn't had a chance (or have been worried about their skill level). We will break it up into beginner and intermediate rides. For the beginner ride, we will go over the basics of mountain biking before heading out and will take the time to answer any questions and work on fundamental skills throughout the ride. If you have ever wanted to check out what mountain biking is all about or are ready to dust off your bike if it’s been awhile, this will be the perfect ride.

We will be meeting at the Eagle Bike Park at 6:00 and will leave for the trails by 6:30. Tesh will bring her grill and we will provide hot dogs, sides, and some champagne for after the ride to celebrate a wonderful season! See below for directions.

Although we will still have impromptu rides as long as the weather will let us, this will be our final official organized ride of the season so we really hope everyone can make it out. Right now it's supposed to be 82 and sunny. :)

Directions: From State Street, head North on "N Horseshoe Bend Road". This is the road just east of Highway 55 (right by WINCO). Stay on this road for a few miles and you will see the park to your right (turn right before the large skate park). You can also type in "Idaho Velodrome and Cycling Park" into mapquest to get directions. The park website is at http://eaglebikepark.org/visiting/maps/ which also has directions.

Ride 9/8 - Camel's Back

Next Monday's ride has been moved to Thursday, the 8th, due to Labor Day.

We'll be meeting at Camel's Back Park at 6:30. The plan is to head up Kestrel and down Hull's Gulch or possibly head over to ride the Military Reserve connector up and back down Hull's Gulch. We can decide with the group of ladies who are riding on Thursday, but we'll be meeting at Camel's Back at 6:30 regardless. After the ride, we'll be grabbing a drink/food in Hyde Park or maybe even hitting the trusty ole' Highlands Hollow!


Enjoy the long weekend! See you next week!
