Kettle Fest 2012: Multi-day Mountain Bike Ride & Trail Work Party July 11, 2012

Join Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance for five days of camping, riding, trail stewardship, and fun in the pristine Kettle Range, surrounded by a variety of sub-alpine ecosystems. Riders from across a vast region converge to make new friends in a relaxed campout atmosphere and actively chip in a little to help the trails out. Solitude, clean air, and top-shelf singletrack riding await!

Come when you can, leave when you like.

Tentative ride schedule:
Wednesday: Copper Butte / Jungle Hill
Thursday: Midnight Ridge / Lambert / Stickpin
Friday: Work Party
Saturday: Taylor Ridge
Sunday: Sherman Peak (13 mile Trail will be an option for folks who want to do something different)

Most of the rides will have easier/harder options and for Saturday we'll give people the option of riding the whole Kettle Crest North (about 30 miles) for those who are looking for a hammerfest.

Directions to Campout at Jungle Hill Campground

In between the small towns of Republic and Kettle Falls, less than 2 miles NE of Sherman Pass on Highway 20. Head North on Albian Hill Rd#2030. Follow road for .6 miles to the sign at the edge of the gravel pit. From there go .2 miles to the campsite area, super easy to find. Will plant a sign at Albian, as well as at the Campground road.

The campground provides a single bathroom, fire pits, and tables. Water is accessible from a creek but requires treatment. Supplies can be replenished from stores in or near the towns of Republic, and Kettle Falls. Colville is the largest town and is about a half hour drive from camp.
