We will be riding the Gold Fever Trail, this is a self guided tour of the Holcomb Valley area, that highlights its rich gold mining history.

Our base camp will be Hanna Flat Campground where we’ll set up camp and drive to the start area of the Gold Fever Trail. Everyone participating in the ride on Saturday, will need to pack enough water and snacks for a 4 to 6 hour ride through the mountains, where we’ll end up back at the Hanna Flat Campground. This will be a leisurely ride with many stops along the way.

The NSICL will only be hosting the ride on Saturday from 9am to 3pm, so please plan accordingly. Plans prior to and after will need to be arranged individually. There is a group planning to ride the bike park on Sunday morning before the trip back home.
