Crank Sisters Beginner Ride, Paradise Valley

Evergreen Crank Sisters Women's Beginner Ride at Paradise Valley

This is a ladies-only ride. Intermediate/advanced riders are welcome, but we'll be sticking to the less-technical trails.

Meet at the trailhead (see above) at 6:00 PM.  Try not to leave valuables in your car; there have been some break-ins here.

Starting time is 6:15 PM.  Please be on time--we cannot wait more than 10 minutes for late arrivers.

Ride leader contact info:  Rachel Robinson.  425-736-2382.

Suggested Equipment: If you have lights, bring them.  I'll bring some extras in case we get caught out at dusk.

Trails: Cascara, Lloyd's, Southern Traverse, Rogue Fern.  Plan to ride for an hour and a half,  maybe 2 hours if everyone is game.  This is subject to change based on weather, trail conditions, etc.

Conditions for cancellation: Hail, hurricanes, heavy wind. If a ride must be cancelled, the ride leader will attempt to contact anyone signed up by 3pm the day before the ride.

Grunt rating: Moderate--You'll be climbing a few hills, but you'll be having so much fun you'll barely notice.

Crank Sisters have a no-drop policy--we will regroup often and adjust the pace based on riders' preference.

Other information:  This area has fun, flowy trails with some roots, beautiful scenery, and easy navigation (trails are mostly marked.)
