Let’s ride Suttle Lake before the crowds arrive. This is an intermediate ride due to distance and pace but not technical. I’ve added a new twist which adds 5 miles to the trip.

We will meet at the TH on Hwy 20 and Mc Allister Rd, ready to ride by 10am. We will ride the tie to the lake and ride around the lake, taking a break at the boat ramp at the west end, then we will ride the Lake trail to Camp Sherman where we connect with the lower Butte loops back to the start.
No restrooms at the TH, restrooms at Suttle Lake Resort.
This ride will be limited to 6 riders, Nancy and I included, in order to stay within the Bella guidelines for social distancing. Please don’t park too close together. Masks are strongly encouraged during our pre-ride remarks, and please stay 6 feet apart then and during our rest stops.
