Kettle Fest 2012 July 11-15 - A multi-day ride and work party extravaganza!
Join us for five days of camping, riding, trail stewardship, and rider fellowship set in the pristine Kettle Range, surrounded by a variety of sub-alpine ecosystems.
Riders from across a vast region will converge, to make new friends in a relaxed campout atmosphere and actively chip in a little to help the trails out. Solitude, clean air, and top-shelf singletrack riding await!
Come when you can, leave when you want to.
Tentative ride schedule:
Wednesday: Copper Butte / Jungle Hill
Thursday: Midnight Ridge / Lambert / Stickpin
Friday: Work Party
Saturday: Taylor Ridge
Sunday: Sherman Peak (13 mile Trail will be an option for folks who want to do something different)
Most of the rides will have easier/harder options and for Saturday we'll give people the option of riding the whole Kettle Crest North (about 30 miles) for those who are looking for a hammerfest.
