Ride before the Picnic: Sisters Tie Trail – 15 miles

September 21, 2022 @ 2:45 am - 4:30 am

Organizer: Kelly O’Neil seecanyonkids@gmail or 928-363-0121

Let’s ride in the woods before the picnic. It is a fun and easy mountain or gravel 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: 8-10 mph hour with stops to regroup as needed. Advanced beginner level ride Please make sure your bike is in good working order and that you can ride 15 miles.

Location: We will meet at Sisters Village Green in Sisters at 9:30 am for introductions/information and safety review. Ready to roll at 9:45. There are restrooms there. We will then ride to the trail which is about 1 mile. (Notice that the map leaves from Fir Street Park, but we might as well park at the Village Green City Park as that’s where we will meet for the picnic.)

Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/36108056

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.
