Where:
Backyard TapHouse
n/a Florence, Montana
Description:
MEET/LEAVE: 5:30 near the corner of Blue Mountain Road and Buckhouse Lane near the Peak. Park on Buckhouse Lane and the group will carpool to Florence.
We will carpool to the Backyard Taphouse in Florence, where the ride will begin and end. With permission, we'll travel briefly through some private land and onto a lavender farm. We'll then traverse the Chief Looking Glass fishing access, maybe stopping for a stretch/yoga break. There will be some single track trail at this point. We'll then loop around, go under Highway 93 and travel south on the paved bike path that runs parallel to the highway, back to the taphouse. Optional dinner/beverage at the Backyard Taphouse. Ride is approximately 10-12 miles at a leisurely pace. Skinny tires are not recommended, but E-bikes are ok.
ITEMS TO BRING ON ALL OUR RIDES: helmet, water, snacks, tube that fits your bike, lock if you are joining us for dinner. If weather conditions require the ride to be cancelled (heat, air quality, thunderstorms), someone from WBM will be at the trailhead(s) to let you know. All are welcome!
