Post event report:

Jack Scholl led 5 MBC members on the Pattee Canyon/Deer Creek loop in sunny, 50-ish (perfect!) weather, 19 miles. Return was by way of the Kim Williams Trail after turning off Deer Creek Road following the trail around the golf course. Riders were; Carl, Alan, Greg, Debbie, Bob. We determined that Deer Creek road was dried out and very rideable.
