LDT SUNDAY RIDE: HEALDSBURG TO SWEETWATER SPRINGS

• BC/2(1500’)/30; 
• CD/3!(2300’)/37  

Enjoy a beautiful ride in the redwoods from Healdsburg to Sweetwater Springs. Both routes get a chance to savor beautiful remote Sweetwater Springs Road. CD route continues up the steep section of Sweetwater Springs (18% grade for .7 mile) and on to Guerneville, while the BC route does an “out-n-back” on the easier portion of Sweetwater. (Completely skipping the “out-n-back” results in a leisurely 21 mile ride.) Both routes return to Healdsburg via scenic Eastside Road and enjoy lunch in Healdsburg at the end of their rides. Rain cancels. Online route sheets/maps/gps. See Saturday HEALDSBURG WEEKEND ride listing for logistics/registration information.
