This is a one-way mountain bike ride on Lime Creek Road, starting at the upper end by Hwy. 550. We will drop a shuttle car at the lower end. The ride begins with an 800 foot downhill ride to the creek, followed by a 600 ft. climb. We will likely take a short side hike to Adrenalin Falls, break for lunch, and continue another 800 feet downhill to the shuttle cars. The road is rough, but the fall colors should be glorious. Mountain bike strongly recommended.
