Riders are responsible for their own transportation to the start in Mullan which is 6 miles up river from Wallace (see aerial photos for directions). All proceeds go to the Gyro Scholarship Fund which provides scholarships to area students. Riders will follow the Gyro Speeder and the Ball downstream along the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes from Mullan to Wallace. The Speeder keeps the official time and makes sure that the Ball doesn't get stuck. When the Ball gets to Wallace, there is a carnival and great fun for everyone!

About 150 men, women, and children gather each year on the Summer Equinox, June 21, to "Bridge the Years - Ride the Wall." Riders normally range in age from about 8 to over 60. The route is about 15 miles long and includes both the paved Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes and an unpaved high forest road.
