Road and Mountain Biking
Post is too wet to ride without damaging it. Some areas of Whoopdee and Hospital will also be too wet. Syncline is your best bet at this point, or you could try gravel roads or pavement. We’ll also see temps drop into the 20’s this upcoming week, which will shut down all trails exposed to open air due to freeze-thaw conditions. We’re starting to get snow above 4000′, so those upper elevation trails are closed unless you have a snowy-fat bike.
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.
