MTB ride – Sisters Tie – Beginner/Advanced Beginner – 15 miles
May 15 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
This is a fun and easy mountain bike ride on single track through the beautiful Deschutes National Forest. However, e-bikes are not allowed.
The trail is 6.5 miles and it is out and back. It’s a gradual uphill to the Indian Ford Campground where we can stop for a snack and a group photo before heading back.
Pace: 7-9mph with stops to regroup as needed. Please make sure your bike is in good working order and that you can ride 15 miles.
Location: We will meet at Fir Street Park in Sisters at 10:00 am for introductions/information and safety review. There are restrooms there. We will then ride to the trail which is less than 1 mile.

Cancelation Notice: Rain may cancel this ride. Look for an update on Meetup by 8am on the day of the ride.
Lunch: We will plan to go to The Barn for lunch afterwards for those interested.
Contact: Kelly O’Neill 928-363-0121 or Mary Fajer 503-369-2914 for questions.
For safety, a helmet is required as well as a bell or whistle to alert other riders on the trail as needed. It is also a good idea to wear bright colors for our ride to the trail from the park.
