Sisters Tie Trail – MTB ride – 15 miles
June 16, 2022 @ 3:30 am - 5:30 am
Organizer: Mary Fajer 503-369-2914 or [email protected]
This is one of my favorite trail rides! I love that it 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.
The pace will be a comfortable 7-9mph hour with stops to regroup as needed. Beginners are welcome. Please make sure your bike is in good working order and you can ride 15 miles.
We will meet at Fir Street Park in Sisters at 10:15am for introductions/information and safety review
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.

**Bella rides are “no drop” rides and no one will be left behind. In consideration of others, we ask that you choose a ride that is close to your skill level based on the description.
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.
No guests are allowed on this ride. You MUST be a current Bella member to attend.
