Weiser River Trail Bike Ride
Riders will cycle the northern section of the Weiser River National Recreation Trail, "Idaho's Longest Rail Trail."
The ride is approximately 28 miles, along the scenic headwaters of the Weiser River. In the event of "mechanical" issues, "sag wagon" transportation is available. The trail is mostly downhill, on a hard-packed dirt/gravel surface (an old railroad grade). Helmets are required.
