Saltese Spring Kickoff Group Dig n' Ride
Spring is here and we are so ready to roll! Join Evergreen East for a day of both trail maintenance and a chill no-drop ride through the scenic Saltese Uplands, with a BBQ after! Saltese is a great place to get those pre-season lungs and legs back in shape! This is also a chance to give back to our community and help maintain these awesome trails before the ride--no experiece necessary! Tools will be provided.
