Group Ride: Buxton to Stub Stewart Park

Enjoy a taste of both the Banks-Vernonia trail from Buxton trailhead to L.L. Stub Stewart State Park,- and some of the natural-surface, single-track, shared-use trails in the park (there are more than 15 miles of trails, with 80% of them natural surface “dirt”). Plus a tour of mountain-biking-only single-track at L.L. Stub Stewart State Park, led by volunteer trail builders!

We will start from the Buxton trailhead on the Banks-Vernonia Linear State Park trail (the B-V is the longest Oregon state park at 22 miles long). Once in Stub park, we will ride up Hares Canyon Trail and then do the MTB single-track loop (trail not named as of this posting). Total trip is about 10 miles. You should be at least an intermediate-level rider, due to the distance and moderate elevation gain involved. Terrain is beginner-level.

There will be a presentation/dedication at the access to the mountain biking zone (who knows who ya might see there…?) Unveiling of the trailhead kiosk and revealing the name of the mountain biking single-track trail! A historic moment for sure.
