Crank Sisters Beginner-Mediate 360 Trails Ride

(aka 360 Regional Park, Between Port Orchard & Gig Harbor)

 

Accessible from Seattle by ferry to the penninsula or driving across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge (~1 hr by car)

This ride is for anyone who identifies as female
 
Back by popular demand....another trip over to the 360 park. It's about an hour drive from Seattle, but oh-so-worth it! Weather says mid 40's and party sunny, maybe a little drizzle, so please bring layers. *If any West Sound Crank Sisters want to join-->That would be GREAT!
 
Trails: We'll do a similar loop to last time on the Blues & Greens, ~8+ miles, ~1,000 feet elevation gain, ~2+ hours on the trail. We will stop for breaks and to regroup as needed. We'll be riding at a beginner-mediate pace, and will be checking Trail Forks along the way. Check the link below & Trail Forks for more info about the area. If you have questions or concerns, text me anytime to touch base.
 
Meet at the Parking Lot at the South end of the park at 9:00 am. I will text you a link to the parking lot after you RSVP. There are a few parking lots there, so we want to be sure we're all at the same location. (we want the one with the fields, dog park, horse parking, bathrooms, etc)
 
Please be on time--we cannot wait more than 10 minutes for late arrivers. If you decide not to come, please text me
