Mud is the New Black - Crank Sisters Fall Ride

Evergreen Crank Sisters will be kicking off the wet season with a ride, followed by lunch and beverages (at Farelli's Pizza in Maple Valley) on SUNDAY, October 22th. We will be riding Henry's Ridge/Black Diamond Trails - please sign up! Haven't ridden with the Crank Sisters yet? Well, here is your opportunity! And of course, if you're already a Crank Sister with dirt experience, this is definitely a ride for you.

Evergreen Crank Sisters has had a good season and we are overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and demand for women led rides. As the summer comes to an end we don't want to stop riding, but rather kickstart the best skill builder there ever was - wet riding in the PNW! Mark your calendar and come out to meet other women riders ready to have fun on two wheels. 

We plan to meet at the parking lot on Hwy 169 at  10 am, ride for about 2 hours and then head to Farelli's Pizza at 26642 Maple Valley-Black Diamond Road SE, Maple Valley. 

Meeting at the Black Diamond Open Space, AKA, the big parking lot off of hwy 169!

All women riders are welcome and we'll will divide the group as needed to make sure everyone has a great ride.

We have awesome ride leaders who will take care of you - no rider left behind on a Crank Sisters ride!

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out to me at  206.972.2133 or

See you there!
