Post event report:

Seven riders completed the trip from the Regional Park to the mountain meadow on O'Brien Creek on a cool, dry day.  This was a repeat of the July ride, when only two of seven continued beyond the gate after the roughest section of gravel - the gated portion of the route is much easier.  This trip was mentioned as a possible overnight ride with tents, as water is available (at least it was on this early-fall day).

Pre-Ride Information

Take a short sojourn up to the mountain meadow on O’Brien Creek. Meet at the Bella Vista (newer) Pavilion in the west portion of Fort Missoula Regional Park for an up-and-back ride, partly paved and partly easy single-track gravel/dirt.  The last mile-and-a-half beyond the gate are hard-packed dirt.  We’ll stop at the halfway point for a bring-your-own snack.
