Evening ride at Stub State Park

Starting from Hilltop Day Use area at L.L. Stub Stewart State Park, riding Hooktender to Hares Canyon to mountain biking zone... and then riding the mountain biking zone loop (singletrack follows North Caddy Whomper Way).   Total distance is 4 miles.  All natural surface paths/singletrack.  80% singletrack/20% paths.

Casual pace.  Think "fun" not "pain". 

Opportunity for beginners to ride along as well - we can split up so that those who don't want to ride intermediate singletrack can ride the Caddy Whomper Way corridor instead (we'd re-group about 1 mile later to ride as group again).

Won't take more than couple hours (depends on how often we stop to talk about trail construction along the way...)

LET ME KNOW IF PLANNING TO RIDE - otherwise, I'll make other plans if nobody is coming...   email joer@nw-trail.org by Tuesday night (the day before ride).

You can get driving directions and more info about the park (including map of the park) here -- http://www.oregonstateparks.org/park_255.php   Note that on the park brochure page 3 is trail map, and "21N" is North Caddy Whomper Way... "This section is the backbone of the park’s mountain bike trail system. It is a moderate thoroughfare reserved for biking, only."  The intermediate level single track trails surf the contours and dive off towards interesting terrain but more or less stay close to that existing Caddy Whomper Way "thoroughfare".  (note that continued trail building is happening including a south section of trail which will eventually connect with North to make an even larger mountain biking trail loop with multiple options).
