Post event report:
5 riders met at Silver Park to enjoy this warm, 82 degree, with the chance of thunderstorms later in the ride south on the Bitterroot Trail. A beautiful afternoon for this warm ride with the added benefit of later cooling with clouds and some minor sprinkles of rain. This week's ride was again a bit of a challenge with the hill up to Blue Mt Trailer Park. All riders met the challenge of this moderate hill and enjoyed to downhill on the return. One rider broke off at the Mary St. intersection with the trail.
