Mountain Bike Ride, Metolius Preserve
Join the Deschutes Land Trust and Jen Zalewski for a 6-8 mile mellow, beginner/intermediate* mountain bike ride at the Metolius Preserve. Visit all three sections of the forested 1,240-acre Metolius Preserve, following singletrack trails and dirt roads. Along the way we'll stop in various locations and talk about the many hidden qualities of the Preserve, including its diverse plant and wildlife communities. Registration is required and opens 1 month prior to the event. This outing will only proceed if pandemic conditions allow.
*Beginner/Intermediate-level riders are riders in good physical condition and comfortable riding in areas of loose dirt and sandy soil. Riders should be able to ride over obstacles in the trail such as rocks and vegetation. This ride does not take place on smooth, well-packed trails. It is a mix of logging roads and trails with some climbs and descents. We will make frequent stops to take in the scenery.
