Newest Sandy Ridge trail (TTM) scheduled to open June 9th...

Submitted Sat, 06/02/2012 - 12:15pm by Tom Slovak

Two Turntables and a Microwave (aka "TTM"), the newest trail at the Sandy Ridge Trail System (SRTS), will officially open on June 9th, as part of a celebration for "National Get Outdoors Day".  There will be a small amount of trail work that day to open the trail with volunteer help.  IMPORTANT: Some people have been "previewing" the new trail, but please refrain from riding it the next week as the BLM will have mechanized equipment working on the trail prior to the Saturday opening-- for the sake of everyone's safety.

Intermediate Women's Ride-Sandy Ridge, May 26, 2012

Submitted by eebee

I'm leading an intermediate level ride this Saturday in conjunction with Sorella Forte, meeting at 9:45 at the gate. Plan on a 35-40 minute climb on a paved road, followed by a fun ride down! The upper trail includes technical rock gardens, switchbacks, drops, stair-steppy sections, a couple of root/logs and some rooty sections. And a creek crossing. No shame in walking however. The trail will probably be damp, so dress appropriately. It's very rideable when wet but the roots can be slick.

The lower section is lots of fun with berms, swoopies and jumps that you can ride around. Guaranteed to put a grin on your face! I recommend knee pads and elbow pads if you have them. Helmet, gloves and eye protection of course.

Thanks to the trail crew! 4/24

Submitted Wed, 04/25/2012 - 2:57pm by Focer

I just wanted to thank everyone who worked on the last Sandy Ridge work party. The trail is in amazing shape! Not a big fan of the gravel put on lower Hide and Go Seek. Im sure its for drainage but I would not want to go down in that stuff.


 


I'll be at the next work party ready to put in some time and I encourage others to give back and keep this place AMAZING!

Kid's fun race/benefit???

So, I have a 4y/o who is pretty good on his bike.  I've also seen a bunch of other kids who tear it up too.  I thought it could be fun to have a kids DH race at Sandy Ridge to benefit the trail system/ NWTA.  I thought it could run from the top of Laura's Loop to the parking lot and be seperated by age.  We could even have a scoot bike catagory (thats chainless for adults).  Parents could ride along with thier kids to ensure safety.  

Stub could have a similar race.  I just watched my son ride from Unfit Settlment View down Hares Canyon Trail to the Clay Hill Horse Staging area.

Sandy Ridge 4/18/12

Submitted Wed, 04/18/2012 - 3:38pm by westma1

Great conditions despite the showers out there today.  One small patch of snow at the beginning of Rock Drop, but otherwise the top trails have drained really well and there is very little standing water if any.  Down on Hide and Seek there were a few small puddles and one or two larger water collections but overall is in great condition as well.  Awesome work by those who put in the time to make and maintain these trails.  

Sandy Ridge OPEN as of 4/13/2012
