Ride is on the Coyote Creek ebike trail, leaving from Coyote Creek Trail at Metcalf parking lot. We will head south along the asphalt Coyote Creek Trail, following most of the time the beautiful Coyote Creek. We will pass near the Coyote Creek golf course, an R/C airplane flying field, and some abandoned farm houses and chicken barns. We will have the opportunity to do some short single track dirt roads that are easy, and beautiful. After about 10 miles of riding, we arrive at the base of Anderson dam, and head up a somewhat steep road to the boat launch. From there, we will do an intermediate dirt trail up some hills with nice views of the reservoir (almost empty of water). We then will head back to Metcalf the same way we came, with a stop at the Anderson Lake County Park where we will be able to eat our picnic lunch on picnic tables along the creek. Please bring your picnic lunch and drink, as there are no places to stop for food or drink along this trail.

Bring an extra battery if you cannot do 20 miles on a single battery, or if you don't like to pedal a lot!
