Ride Leader contact info: Doraine Raichart (208-869-6209)
Trails: Starting from Central Park, we'll skirt the soccer fields to the left and traverse to the trail intersection. We'll head up and over Grand Ridge, and do Watertower loop before heading back south for a long descent to the I-90 frontage trail. From there we'll pick back up on the loop back up to Central Park. Other optional trails will be decided based on rider preferences, and are subject to change based on weather, trail conditions, etc.
Conditions for cancellation: Heavy wind, lightning, deep snow or heavy rain. We ride in the moderate rain and cold! If a ride must be canceled, the ride leader will attempt to contact anyone signed up by 3 pm the day before the ride.
Grunt rating: There's climbing! Please plan to ride for two hours with breaks. Bring lots of water and some snacks. Mostly smooth flowy low-tech trails with occasional rocky stream bed crossings. Crank Sisters have a no-drop policy - we will regroup often and adjust the pace based on riders' preference.
Other information: Sessioning is encouraged. Please make sure your bike is in good working order. If you're not sure, please have it checked by your bike mechanic prior to the ride. Bring a spare tube and pump so you can fix a flat tire.
We'll set a time to be back at the cars so you can go ahead with the rest of your plans for the day.
