Women's Mountain Bike Ride With The Deschutes Land Trust

On Sunday September 8th join the Deschutes Land Trust and Nancy Chaffee for a 6-8 mile beginning/intermediate* mountain bike ride at the Metolius Preserve. Visit all three sections of the forested 1,240-acre Metolius Preserve following singletrack trails and dirt roads. Along the way we’ll stop in various locations and talk about the many hidden qualities of the Preserve, including its diverse plant and wildlife communities, new trail system, and other interesting tidbits. Registration is required and opens 1 month prior to the event.

*Beginning/Intermediate-level riders are riders in good physical condition and comfortable riding in areas of loose dirt and sandy soil. Riders should be able to ride over obstacles in the trail such as rocks and vegetation. This ride does not take place on smooth, well-packed trails. It is a mix of logging roads and trails with some climbs and descents. We will make frequent stops to take in the scenery. MORE INFO HERE.
