Comments: This is the opening day of the Bradner Flower Festival https://www.bradnerbarker.com/news/bradner-flower-show-2024-carnival-of-flowers admission, $2.50/person. Actually quite interesting all the varieties of local flowers, especially daffodils on display.

Yes, there is some elevation, but an amazing downhill near the end. And it is longer than some rides the relaxed group usually does.

Tip to all participants, take an extra cookie at the pre-ride social, bring a lunch of your own, or plan to purchase from the selection at the flower show concession or the General Store. (support local)

The Bradner Flower Show Tea Room features “soups, sandwiches, and goodies all made fresh in our licensed kitchen” or the General Store across the road is also available.
