The Dirty Details

Willing adventurers will embark on a 26 mile trek through a forest of ferocious chipmunks and trail dodging trees for the ultimate prize…. BEER.  @9:15am-ish – Cog Wild will shuttle our lazy asses up to Dutchman Sno Park (no actual snow this year please!) and leave the group to our pending doom….Please bring cams to document our bone crushing descent for our next generations enjoyment…“See kids, your grandpa wasn’t always eating his meals through a straw!

After the Group Pic at Dutchman, our ride will begin with a brisk uphill climb to the top of Flagline Trail. The remaining 22 miles are all downhill. Really? :)… No :(… Well, sort of… We will meander through the most grueling terrain known to 3rd graders with speed and agility, conquering trails with demonic names like Swede Ridge, Sector 16 and Whoops There it is.  The culmination of the excursion will flow like 2 buck-chuck down the dreaded Phil’s Trail complex to our ultimate destination, Pacific Pizza & Brew where we will indulge in recovery beverages and healthy foods derived from the Viking and Paleo diet plan to fully recover from the pillages of the pine. ETA for restaurant is 2:45pm-ish, please invite your families however any complimentary beer goes to riders only!

Safety Stops

• We will have a few key stopping points for all to meet up.
• There are a few places where an injured / beaten-down MVE’r can also bail out and dare I say, call their wives for pick up.

Pacific Pizza & Brew Sponsorship

Jeff Johnson of Pacific Pizza & Brew plans on rewarding each rider 2 complimentary beers upon arrival, HOW COOL ARE THEY???  Please TIP WELL, invite your families, friends whomever!  We should arrive around 2:45pm – lets pack the joint!  *FACT: “The more our wives get together, the more outings they will let you go on plus, they may be your ride home!” 🙂
