Ride Description: It’s time to ride IceBox. We will meet and climb up Wheeler Canyon, over to Upper Wheeler and then descend IceBox. IceBox has 3 main features that are challenging, but great to try and session (a steep rocky loose descent, a tight switchback, and a 2nd steep descent). You cannot ride around the features, but you can walk them. We are hoping this won’t be too blown out by now, but it’s just a Weber Group “must-do” regardless. If you have questions about the trail please feel free to ask. If all else fails, give it a try and have fun either way!
Other things to know: First things first, you MUST SIGN OUR WAIVER before participating in the ride. If you have not participated in a 2022 WomenMTB ride please sign the liability waiver here: https://forms.gle/tJeyJ6czZDGoTP8GA
Please make sure to come to ride safe and prepared by having a helmet, water, light if necessary, spare tube, and air canisters.
Directions to Trailhead: Park at the Wheeler Trailhead across from the Pineview Dam. Parking is limited, so if you need to, drive a little bit further and you can park on the first left side dirt lot and bike back to the Wheeler Trailhead. It is not uncommon to have bikers on the road, so this is a fine option.
