Sorry this is so late, but I wanted to get it up in case anybody that I don't have their contact info for, and wants to go, doesn't feel left out.
We are meeting at the gateway TC at 9am.
The ride: lots and lots of switchbacks! I have never done this ride before, but hear it is a grunt, so be prepared to climb. By looking at the people interested so far it will be at a pretty fast pace. Also, we will be doing the ride as an out and back not a loop as indicated in the description below.
This Sunday is potentially my last ride day of the season (let's hope for no rain for Barbie Camp!). I can't make up my mind what I want to ride, so...I'll decide Sunday morning. :)
-->if it's raining Sunday morning, no ride.<--
Meet spot: Gateway Transit Center
Meet time: 8 am. We'll make a decision, load bikes, & be on our way by 8:30. Arrive later than that & you'll miss us.
