RIDE & LUNCH MEET-UP

Enjoy the beautiful day with a flexible, informal ride in the park on Friday, September 4, 2026. 

You’re invited to join fellow riders for a relaxed trail ride and lunch gathering at Isle du Bois Bluestem Campground. This is a go-at-your-own-pace ride … ride as long or as little as you like, fast or slow, solo or with friends.

WHERE:

Bluestem Day Use Area (by the day-use stalls and water hose). Two shaded picnic tables are available.

Note: The Pavilion may be reserved by another group, but the Day Use area is a dependable and comfortable meeting spot.

LUNCH TARGET TIME:

11:30pm at the Bluestem Campground Day Use Area

(Plan your ride so you’re back around lunchtime.)

FLEXIBLE START TIMES:

Whenever you want! Want a longer ride? Come earlier and ride longer. Prefer a shorter outing? Come later. Ride before lunch, after lunch… or both! We plan on heading home before the heat is too bad.

TRAILHEAD FLEXIBILITY:

Start from Bluestem and ride out and back in either direction. Or start from Jordan Park or Elm Fork, pack your lunch on your horse, ride to Bluestem for lunch with the group, then ride back to your starting point. This flexible format allows for everything from a 45-minute ride to two or three hours in the saddle, whatever suits you and your horse.

RIDING BUDDY NEEDED?

If you’re coming alone and would like a riding companion, be there ready to ride out at 9:30 with Jamie Erbes and Donna Weinstein.

Bring your lunch, enjoy the trails, meet new and/or old riding friends, and we’ll see you at the lunch tables!
