Crank Sisters-Wonderful Winthrop Weekend (Intermediate Trails & Pace)
This ride is for anyone who identifies as female.
Crank Sisters is going to the Methow for a Fall weekend of riding!
Join us for a fun weekend of riding & camping. There are lots of trails in the area; we'll make a plan each day based on who's there & what they want to ride (Intermediate trails & pace). This will be a super-chill weekend, but please be ready for some trails with sustained climbing & limited exit points. There also may be opportunities to shuttle. Here are some of the local trails:
- Buck Mountain: https://www.evergreenmtb.org/trails/buck-mtn
- Rendezvous Basin: https://www.evergreenmtb.org/trails/rendezvous-basin
- Sun Mountain Trails: https://www.evergreenmtb.org/trails/sun-mtn
- Virginian Ridge: https://www.evergreenmtb.org/trails/virginian-ridge
- Winthrop-Mazama Community Trail: https://www.evergreenmtb.org/trails/winthrop-to-mazama-methow-community-trail
Friday-We'll arrive Friday evening & camp at a Crank Sister's property in the Sun Mountain Ranch area (thanks Leslie!). We will have access to a tiny cabin with a kitchen & bathroom; also keycard access to showers. Please plan to camp in your van/car or tent (or feel free to find your own camping/hotel/airbnb, etc). Please bring food for yourself, although we might also eat out in town (more details will likely emerge as we get closer to the actual date).
Saturday-Ride! We'll decide when & where to ride based on who's there & what they feel like doing. Maybe AM & PM ride! Potential dinner in town (about 15 minutes away)
Sunday-More riding! More good food & fun. Crank Sisters Rock :)
