| We will continue the multi-distance format from last year. The main ride starts at 9:00 sharp, and will be 40 miles
of rolling hills and a few moderate climbs at a comfortable pace. This is not a race, it is a celebration.
If you want to add some harder miles (or a run) before that, let us know and we will coordinate. If you want to
do a shorter ride, there will be an alternate starting point at Calero Stables, about 8 miles from Carol's house,
for a total of just under 24 miles. Click here for route elevation profile. There
is no traffic control, so obey all of the normal traffic rules and proceed at your own risk (Carol's husband is
a lawyer, so we had to say that). The ride goes by 3 local lakes, Calero, Chesbro and Uvas, but all fish must be
released before returning to Carol's house. There are restrooms (well, porta-potties, anyway) at several spots
on the route. Click here for route map. A hot tub and chicken burritos will be available
at the finish. Click here for chicken burritos. Please note: after ride festivities
are MANDATORY, no exceptions. This year will also introduce the post-race Chocolate Contest. |
