Alefest Bike Ride In Leavenworth, WA

This looks like it will be a fun ride!

A fun un-timed bike ride through the beautiful Wenatchee National Forest near Lake Wenatchee, Washington.

And after the ride the Alefest in Leavenworth! My hubby Joe is looking forward to the ride and the beer fest afterwards!

Looks like a neat ride, but pretty flat? Is that what you got from the website route descriptions, too?

[Susan126]

Yes, wonderfully flat! I love these kinds of rides too! I do massive hills (I'm doing the RAMROD this July) and these are my "just having fun" rides! Scenery, friends, and food and beer afterwards! Oh and for a good cause. $10.00 of entry fee goes towards cancer. Plus we are taking our mountain bikes along too. We'll be doing a lot of climbing the next day! Hitting some of our favorite trails over there. All of them steep, twisty, and with whooping downhills! The best of both that weekend!

So are you going to go? I just checked our schedule and we don't have anything going on that weekend.

Might be fun

How long of a drive is it to get there?

[Susan126]

Joe and I are going. We are staying with some friends who have a place over there. Our friends are mountain bikers. So they will spend Saturday at the beer fest and Joe and I will do the road ride then meet them. On Sunday we'll do some mountain biking with them. Plus I may have talked two teachers that I work with into doing the road ride. Both are cyclists. One is going home tonight to inform her boyfriend about the ride. She said she will know for sure on Monday!

Hmmmm. I've been running and swimming and my stuff has occupied our time lately. That ride would incorporate two of DH's favorite things, riding and beer! I appreciate the altitude gain (or lack thereof) and have never been to that part of the state.

I looked and there are hotels that aren't too terribly expensive.

I might have to register us
