Ride report from September 19, 2026. This was a great ride with a great crew! We had three pace groups on the road (short, medium, and long) who tackled three challenging routes of different distances. All of them involve a lot of dirt and a lot of climbing! Fortunately, we had perfect weather for the occasion. It was nice and cool.
After the ride, many riders stuck around for well-deserved cold drinks and food by the river. Thanks everyone for helping to make it an awesome day!

Quick warning: Sunken Mine Rd is rougher than usual (ruts, washouts, etc). We recommend traveling single file once you cross through the gates. This will allow riders to choose a good line through the rougher sections.
