*TIME CHG* LDT SUNDAY RIDE: HEALDSBURG TO SWEETWATER SPRINGS BC/2(1500’)/30; CD/3!(2300’)/37

Update 3/19 - Sunday ride is still tentatively ON. (11:30 rolling time) 

The main rain has passed through the area, but there are scattered showers which will continue through mid-day. I plan to be at the start and will ride if the weather has improved a bit by then...

Sunday ride start is moved to meet at 11:15 am for an 11:30 start. (Checkout time at Fairview Inn is 11:00 am). 

Forecast is currently for rain this evening and overnight, with gradual improvement during the day Sunday. At this time it looks like we might have to cancel entirely, but we'll see how things develop overnight. I will send out an update by 9:30 am tomorrow.

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.
