Our Mission
We are a group of mountain bicyclists who get together every Thursday night at 6 pm to do a ride in the vicinity of Missoula. New riders are welcome to participate. Prospective participants can get an idea of the difficulty of our rides from the GPS-derived maps posted here.
This
Week's Ride
Hike
On Thursday, Jan, 27, at 6 pm Meet at the upper pullout at Blue Mountain. We'll hike some of the horse trails since we're not allowed on them in the summer, climbing for some good views.
Directions: Go past the large main (lower) trailhead parking, continue up Blue Mountain Road and turn left to climb up towards the FOLF course and other parking. Just less than a mile, when the road re-enters the woods on a bend, there is a large pullout -(where we often enter the woods on our bikes).
See the map.
