More than 30 riders joined the Wyoming Outdoor Council for the third annual Ride the Red mountain bike ride. Riders came from Powell, Sheridan, Green River, Lander, Pinedale, Rock Springs and other parts of the state. Our thanks go to Mike and Joyce Evans and Juan Laden for providing support. We also want to thank Lauren McKeever for pinch-hitting with her vehicle when Andy rode off with his car keys.

Bikers gathered around for a briefing before starting out on either a 22- or 42-mile loop on double-tracks and country roads. Juan Laden brought welcome snacks and water for riders on the long loop.

Avery Absolon, 5, rode the 22-mile loop on a trail-a-bike behind her dad, Peter; here, they stand in front of the ruins of an old prospector’s shelter.


Join us next year. Same time, same place!
