Hi Ladies;
Lets try to extend summer a bit more and ride Jumpingpound Loop tonight!!
We leave the carpool spot at 6:00p, - this trail is close so Lets plan to be ready to ride at the Trailhead for 6:45pm!!
Note - there are multiple turnaround points you can take if its starting to get late please take them if you need to - discuss a turaround time and place with your group before you leave. That being said everyone should be fine - cruisers rode this in 1 hour 10 min last week and scooters got in about 20 minutes after us
Directions:
Take Highway 1 west and exit onto Hwy 68 (Sibbald Area Turn Off). The parking lot will be on the left hand side of the road, just after the highway curves and turns to gravel. The gravel gets really dusty so start looking for the turn as soon as you are off pavement - right after the cattle gaurd. I think the lot is called the Pine Top Picnic Area. If you see a sign that says Pine Top Group Camping area you have gone too far!
Here is a map of the Sibbald Areas - the trail is on the far right hand side of the map...

And I just thought this was a cool map of the trail - this is the way we will ride:
