Right now the forecast looks like rain, so keep an eye out for a likely cancellation. But just in case the weather forecast changes... This is the same ride I posted 8 weeks ago, but had to cancel due to poor AQI numbers.
Let's do some old friends, but in a different directions than we have in recent times.
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 Quickmap shows there are currently a number of one way controls to Redwood Gulch from Tollgate while they continue to 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.
