More
info: What’s a Wheelhopper?
We are an informal group of mountain bike riders fashioned after the infamous
Hash House Harriers groups for runners. Like the runner's Hash House Harriers
groups which have become so popular all over the world, including North
America, we encourage those with half-a-mind to join to do so. Likewise,
Wheelhopper Hash House Harriers also greatly enjoy a cold beer (or soft-drink)
after our hares-and-hounds style rides.
Our
trails favor advanced, recreational, and beginner riders: women and men. We mark each
course with biodegradable baking-flour, including false-trail marks to slow
down those hard core riders and enable most of the riders to finish the course
together. Rides are mostly off-road and generally 8 to 15 miles for the
advanced and recreational riders and sometimes we have an alternate trail of
about 3 to 6 miles for the beginners.
We
encourage helping one another along the course. This is not a race; but you may
ride as hard or easy as you like. (Bring a whistle, bell, or other noise maker
to let others behind you know which direction to go.) We also appreciate and
respect the land, people and property that we pass. For $6.00 you get the
trail, ride, beer and soft-drinks, munchies, and the camaraderie with others of
half-a-mind.
Wheelhopper Boise meets on the 2nd –or- 4th
Thursday of the month during the winter, and the 2nd –and- 4th
Thursdays the rest of the year. To
