Crank Sisters Intermediate Ride in Roslyn/Cle Elum

  
This ride is for anyone who identifies as female.
 
Forget the muddy, greasy trails & cold, foggy overlooks on the Westside---->Crank Sisters is heading East! We're popping over to Roslyn/Cle Elum looking for some nice dry trails & sunny views this Saturday. I've ridden here a few times & know there's some forest work going on, so still figuring out the details of our ride. Looking to put together a loop that's mostly blues, maybe a black, with ~10+ miles, ~1,500+ of climbing. Weather says 60s and mostly sunny, so hopefully will be good! 
 
Trails: TBD, likely starting and ending in Roslyn; trying to put together an Intermediate ride, moderate pace (depending on forest/logging activity). Potential trails: East Cedar Gulch-->Ewok-->Main Ridge Road-->Brass Monkey-->Coal Miners Trail. This area is new to me, so we'll be checking Trail Forks along the way.
 
You do not need to be a fast climber as we'll stop for breaks & regroup as needed, but please be ready to climb at least 4+ miles & at least 1,500+ feet on the trail. Check the Evergreen website & Trail Forks for more info about the area. If you have questions or concerns, text me anytime to touch base.
 
Likely starting the ride around 9:30 am; will confirm as we get closer to the weekend. Will check with Evergreen about potential carpool options. Roslyn is about 90 minutes from Seattle.
 
Please be on time--we cannot wait more than 10 minutes for late arrivers. If you decide not to come, please text me
