Hi All :
After getting good suggestions about simplifying the Orange Ride route ( thanks Dennis)
for this Sat.'s ORANGE Away Ride : Ventura-Ojai-Santa Paula -Ventura
(It's more straightforward route-wise & less climbing too)
I RE-drew the Orange route on RWGPS eliminating the residential streets in Oak View
- which were confusing and easy to miss ( like the Cool Breeze was a couple years ago)
So here is the CORRECTED ORANGE RIDE route :
49.6 miles
2334' climbing ( realistically 20% less as RWGPS is always high)
Please look at it and print the route slip for use on Sat.
Could be considered a GOLD Ride too ? Just by riding a little slower avg. speed?
- as it fits in our club Gold Ride definition as to mileage & overall climbing feet
Most significant climb is Dennison Grade: on route #150 east of Ojai
- maybe is 1/2 of our Rock Store climb?
Headwind can be a factor to returning from Santa Paula to Ventura though
Another comparison between this Sat.'s Away ride routes:
Sat.'s RED Ride version adds : Thatcher Rd. climb and Foothill Rd. rollers after Santa Paula
( a few extra miles and climbing feet)
See you 8:30am at Mission Park parking lot in Ventura
