MTB ride – Sisters Tie – Beginner/Advanced Beginner
September 28 @ 10:30 am - 12:30 pm
This is a fun and easy mountain bike ride on mostly single track with small sections of double track and Forest service roads. E-bikes are not allowed on this trail.
It’s a gradual uphill to the Indian Ford Campground where we can stop for a snack and a group photo before heading back.
Location: We will meet at Fir Street Park in Sisters at 10:15 am. There are restrooms there.
Ride Level: Beginner/Advanced Beginner
Length of ride: 14+ miles as we start at Fir St Park and ride about a mile to the trailhead. The trail itself is 6 miles to Indian Ford Campground and 6 back to trailhead.
Terrain: Packed dirt with small sections of gravel on FS roads. The recent rain probably helped with the dust, so conditions should be good.
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.
For safety: Helmet is required, flat tire repair kit and a bell are recommended.
Bella rides are “no drop” rides and no one will be left behind.
If you choose to leave the group by going significantly faster, or taking a different route you have an obligation to let the leader know. When you leave the group, you are on your own.
Be Ready to Roll at 10:30 am – arrive 15 minutes prior for a pre-ride meeting.
