Sisters Shuttle @ Peterson Ridge

Join us for a 9-ish mile shuttle ride in Sisters! This is our first time trying a shuttle ride as a group, and it will require a bit of coordination! Here's how it works:

• Shuttle rides are one-way, meaning you start and end at different points. This means you need a shuttle to get you where you need to go!
• Most people will park at the TOP of the trailhead, at Whychus Creek Overlook Trailhead parking area. 1-2 of us who have passenger cars (SUVs or cars that can carry 4-5 people) will park at the BOTTOM of the trail, Peterson Ridge Trailhead. The BOTTOM parkers (and their bikes) will then need to be shuttled to the TOP. ***If you have a car/truck van with space for 2 people AND their bikes, please volunteer to pick up our BOTTOM parkers on your way up to Whychus!***
• Once we're all at the TOP (whychus), we'll do our 9-ish mile ride downhill.
• Once the ride is over, someone will wait and watch the bikes. The rest of us will shuttle back up to the top and pick up our cars. We'll drive down, pick up our bikes and go home, and I'll shuttle the last person and their bike up to their car.

Here's a video explaining: https://youtu.be/-3Jc_wb3BXY

We'll leave the Whychus trailhead at 1pm.

Ride facts:

• Route: Park at Wychus creek overlook parking here. We'll take Peterson Ridge Trail East - upper (green) to the picnic table, then Peterson Ridge West - middle (blue), then a few green trails back to the Peterson Ridge Trailhead parking area.
• Time: Plan for 2 hours
• Terrain: Loose dirt and dust, some sandy areas. Rocky blue trails with some walk-the-bike-over areas.

Please arrive 5-10 minutes before the posted start time. We wait about 5 minutes for stragglers then ride out.

Bring:

• Water in a hydration pack. 1 bottle isn't enough hydration for a ride of this length.
• Fuel: Carbs and sugars are the best mid-ride fuel. Protein is for after!

For this ride to work, we need:

• 1 person to volunteer to shuttle people back up to the top after the ride is over. Should only have to do it once.
• 1 person to pick up 2 people and 2 bikes at Peterson Ridge Trailhead on their way up to Whychus. (truck, van, big rack, etc. is perfect!)
