BIKE BEACON HILL
There are more than 30 miles of mountain bike trails in Camp Sekani and Beacon Hill just a few miles to the east of downtown, perfect for those who prefer a dust thrill to smooth asphalt in their cycling. The Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance not only helps maintain those trails (volunteer!), they offer regular group rides and skill classes. Read more at evergreeneast.org.
PEDAL A CENTURY IN THE DARK
This is only for the nuttiest of bike nuts: 100 miles, much of it over dirt roads, in the dark, with no support or medical assistance. On Aug. 2, a minute before midnight, a group of bike riders leaves from the Elk and sets out on a 100-mile ride. “There’s a really steep climb around 4 in the morning,” says cyclist Hank Greer, remembering a mile-long 500-foot tall hill on Spangle Creek Road. Survive, and come back with plenty of stories. “[Last year] Eric Erickson ran over a porcupine and got a shoe full of quills,” Greer says. Another year, two riders came in together, one narrowly before the other, on a tandem bicycle. Remember: Midnight Century is bring your own bike, lights, water, food, tool kit, pool of endurance and insatiable thirst for adventure. Check out midnightcentury.com. BIKES CONTINUES ON NEXT PAGE
