Crank Sisters-Ride the Regions-is Going to Kettle Fest 2023!

Crank Sisters-Ride the Regions-is Going to Kettle Fest 2023! (East Region)

Crank Sisters will join the fun at Kettle Fest 2023 in the Colville National Forest. Free off-the-grid camping, remote alpine back-country riding (with easy, medium & hard options), trail work on Friday & TONS of FUN! There's no cell service at the campgound or on the trails, so you can really get away from it all. It's a super-casual scene, with daily rides (co-ed) starting around 9 am. I've done this event a few times & it's truly memorable!

The main/original posting for this event is July 19-23 (Wednesday-Sunday) on the Evergreen Calendar; I've posted this Crank Sisters portion for July 21-23 (Friday-Sunday) and I'm open to carpooling & possibly flexibile on dates in the July 19-23 window (arriving on Wednesday or Thurday, leaving early; text me to make a plan & coordinate!). I won't necessarily be leading other rides; will probably be joining the "Easy" rides each day. Please see all the info & tons of details on the main/original posting.

Feel free to message me with questions, and/or to possibly carpool or caravan: Katherine Meyer (2 oh 6) 849-7699 or ktmeyer4(at)gmail.com

Crank Sisters-Ride the Regions 2023

Evergreen has 8 chapter regions in WA. Crank Sisters, based in our local Cascade to Sound chapter, is going to try to ride in every region in 2023.

Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance Chapter Regions

• Cascade to Sound (Greater Seattle, including King, Snohomish & Pierce Counties)
• Central (Greater Wenatchee Valley, from Leavenworth to Chelan)
• Cowlitz-Naches (SW WA Cascades, including Gifford Pinchot & Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forests)
• East (Eastern WA, including Spokane)-->Scheduled for July 21-23
• Kittitas (Kittitas Valley, including Cle Elum)
• Methow (Methow Valley, including Winthrop)-->Scheduled for July 14-16, 2023
• Southwest (SW WA, including Battleground & Camas)
• West Sound (West of Puget Sound, including Bremerton & Port Gamble)-->DONE! Evergreen MTB Festival in Port Gamble, June 9-11, 2023

Some rides may be one-day, and others may involve a weekend camping & exploring as we navigate our way around using Trailforks. We’ll try to join our fellow chapters’ long-standing annual events (like the Evergreen Mountain Bike Festival in Port Gamble in June, Kettle Fest in North Central WA in July & Naches Fest in South Central WA in Sept). We’ll also try to connect with local riders who may want to share some of their best-kept secret trails.

So, keep your eyes on the Evergreen Calendar to sign up as Crank Sisters Ride the Regions!
