The AQI forecast was looking promising earlier today, but no longer. Tuesday afternoon it rather quickly went from acceptable (<100) to not acceptable (>150), so I'm cancelling Wednesday's HRU. Even the coast is awful this time. My plan/hope is that we can ride Thursday - same time, same place, same route, but I'm seeing conflicting forecasts right now. I'll post another update later tomorrow once the forecasts get updated.

Let's do some old friends, but in a different directions than we have in recent times.

This time we'll do Redwood Gulch to 9 to Skyline to Alpine, followed by 84, West Old La Honda, and for something really new, we'll come down 84 and take the loop back to Shoup.  I really wanted to take 9 all the way to Skyline in lieu of Redwood, but there are currently a number of one way controls to Redwood Gulch from Tollgate while they clear old slides.

Meet at Shoup at 8:45 for a 9:00 AM departure.  We'll have two groups, with the D/E speedsters launching first, followed by the Social Climbers.

Lunch:  Buy food/drink at the La Honda Market, to take up to the duck pond for shade and nature's own web foot entertainment.
