In an effort to stimulate some use of the Bethel trails, we are going to start a Tatonut-style ride at the Bethel Trails, 3rd Saturday of the month at 9am. Anna said she would bring Tatonut donuts for the Feb ride. Hunting season is over. Same format as the Tatonut road ride - casual atmosphere for the new, occassional, and die hard road riders.
FIRST RIDE WILL BE 20 FEB
So dust off those mountain bikes, bring a friend or two, and come have some fun in the dirt/mud/sand. The SCRCS MTB racing calendar and this ride have been deconflicted - with the exception of March.
Directions: From Hwy 49 @ Saucier take NEW Hwy 67 S. to 3rd intersection of old Hwy 67 turn left, go to 4-way stop continue on Bethel Rd. watch for Bike Trail sign & turn right onto dirt road . From I-10 Exit 46 north traveling on Hwy. 15/67 for about 2 miles. Exit onto Hwy 15 North and continue on for approx. 9 miles. Look for Bike Trail sign on west/left side of the road. Follow Forestry Rd # 426 for 1 mile to Couch Trailhead on the west side of the road.
And it was fun, and it was casual, and the doughnuts were good. Even broke part of the shift cable guidance on my bike (the "Rollamagig" – not exactly common anymore) and managed a trailside repair to get going again with a 3x1 drivetrain. That just made it all the better.
