Road and Mountain Biking

Syncline report: the lower half of it is dry-not-tacky, amazingly enough. Sounds like Hidden is good. Columbia Hills is also open and rideable and probably full of wildflowers, just like Syncline. However, incoming rain this afternoon will slickify everything, so you’ll want to ride early. Tacky conditions (and hoards of people) return on Saturday.
 

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. Coming up Saturday: a free bootcamp workout in Sorosis Park at 10am and the Dirty Fingers Cold Lap mixed-surface ride at 3pm.
