Bird Farm Trail ride Sept. 23
Posted: 20 Aug 2017 14:28
UPDATE: Waiver attached. Please print, sign, and bring with you.
I finally got around to doing trail maintenance , and the trails are now ready to ride.
I have chosen Sept. 23 as the date to host this years ride. We have tried to chose a non conflicting date , hopefully a lot of you will be able to attend and the weather will cooperate. We have had several weeks of excellent riding weather , maybe it will hold. This is an family event and you can ride all day or however long you want to. The area is kid and beginner friendly ,but you can find plenty of riding challenges for an experienced rider.
We will have a riders meeting sometime between 9 and 10 and then off to ride. If you are new to the trails you will want to get someone who is familiar with them to follow at first.
The Bird Farm trails are west of Garnett 12 miles on a 210 acre farm. For those of you who have been here before the farm will look very different this year but still recognizable, I no longer am raising pheasants so all the pens and most of the buildings associated with them are gone.
Please post ,call or text if you are planning to attend so we will know how to plan.
Address is 12856 nw 1600 rd Westphalia Ks.
My phone number has changed it is now seven eight five four four eight four nine four two.
Parking will be in the big open shady areas up by the road and buildings.
You will never be more than a half to three fourths of a mile from your truck so a water bottle is all you may need to carry while riding.
We will have ride waivers to sign.
When we get lots of rain it gets very muddy as we have no rocks ...so I will post the day before if we have a weather cancelation.
Lunch plans to be announced , but you will need to bring snacks and drinks. The Yoder community store just a mile west of Garnett is a good place to pick up snacks and they make really good sandwiches.
I have posted links below to previous years ride to give you more info on the trails and taste of the event.

Rachel and I had a great time! Thanks Larry & Dena! Thanks also to all those who came to make it a fun, family event. So cool to see all those kids buzzing around on 50's, 65's, 110's, and even a vintage RM80 (LOUD!).
