Training for any big gravel or MTB events or want a good challenge? Come join us for "little bike on the Prairie". 7 am, Saturday, May 31 from Matt Bixby's house. 90 ish miles and 8K ish feet of climbing. The only place to get any water or food will be at the market in Prairie so bring lots of snacks and water! We will have support! We might end up with 2 groups - faster group and not as fast that want to enjoy the day group. Message me with any questions. -jill

My wife would love to drive a support car for the group! She will take my pickup and meet at ride start, then drive out to Blacks Creek and follow us along the route. I've got a couple of lawn chairs, a water cooler, and a drink cooler I'll throw in the back. Everyone is welcome to load up water, snacks, pizza, cake, "beverages", tools, coolers, what ever you need.

I'd like to get a headcount for people that are coming on this ride, as well as any significant others that may join us afterwards. We'll be departing from and returning to my house, and Randie (my wife, for those who have not met her) will have a carb-and-protein-heavy meal for everyone that survives. Please let me know if you intend to ride with us, and also if you have any allergies / food restrictions to work around.

The route looks like it would be a lot of fun And 90 miles and 8LK vertical on gravel is a long ride.

Couple of questions to help me decide.

Is this a no drop ride?

will there be 2 groups going out like Jill mentioned in her original email?

I don't want to hold back the group if it is going to be a fast paced A group ride

Thanks,

Clint

Thanks,

There will for sure be two groups. Both groups starting out together. The 2nd group won’t be that slow but not super fast. It is a long day. So plan accordingly. Bryce’s wife will have extra water and whatever food you want her to keep and will probably not scrape anyone off the ground but will be there if anyone can’t finish the ride.

to Matt, I’ll be there for sure and Mike would like to join. Gluten/dairy free for me please and thanks ahead of time to Randie!!

I'm planning on going and hanging back with the slower group. Maybe that slower group will just be me 🤣

I’m planning to join the ride, but I’ll skip the meal afterwards. Thanks a lot for the invitation though.

See you on Saturday folks!

Okay....

I posted the route from the community center in Harris ranch, because there's a parking lot there and that's a better place for us to leave our cars for the day.

My house is is about a block away at 5149 E Softwood Dr. Boise ID 83716

This ride is a bit too much for me at the moment but thrilled to know there are other LAC members in Spring creek. I live on Longleaf :)
