About the Ride

Skill Level-->Intermediate+ (mostly Blues)

Pace-->Moderate. Frequent regroups (at least at every trail junction)

Crank Sisters are heading to Wenatchee! Evergreen's Lead Trail Builder for the state (Mick, who lives in Wenatchee) specifically recommended #2 Canyon Loop for our Crank Sisters Ride in the Central Region, so we know we're getting a good one! Trailforks shows a few different options for this loop, from 8-15 miles, with 1,300-2,600 feet of climbing. We'll choose the best loop based on who attends the ride. I haven't ridden here, so we'll be consulting Trailforks along the way.

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!
