The nice part of this ride is that you can make it as long and/or as much climbing as you want by turning around at any point and coming back the same way you came up or furhter along the route, make a left to the Coast and come back the Coast roads.

The RED is an Advanced level of riding; 50+ Miles; 15+ avg. MPH; Above average to extensive hill climbing; Few regroups or stops ride. This is a "drop ride" so please understand the route before you start (and how to get back). As always we will try to stick together & have a fun safe ride. We will regroup regularly and to allow everyone a chance to ride together.

Inclement weather policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel a club ride. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride.
