Road and Mountain Biking
Stay out of Post, off Whoopdee, and off Hospital Hill – it’s too muddy. Even if you have a fat bike. You’re damaging delicate trails and undoing the hard work of many, many volunteers. Try the face of Syncline for best results. The Power Station has a really wonderful virtual bike setup. I know it’s not the same, but it’s better than damaging the dirt.
Upcoming Events
At 7am on Friday, there’s the Kickstand Coffee Run, where jogging or walking 4 miles gets you a free cup of coffee and a donut. There’s a by-donation yoga class at Yoga Samadhi at 4:15 on Friday afternoons. Dirty Fingers has the KringleCrawl, bike-centered SantaCon at 6pm on Saturday.
