Meet at the intersection of 84 and 35 at 8:45 for a 9:00 AM departure. We'll have two groups unless it's a small turnout due to weather, with the D/E speedsters launching first, followed by the C+/D Social Climbers. Rain, not sprinkles, cancel and wet roads are a go. As long as it's not really raining I'll be there for the start!! This route provides safe descents during the wettest parts but will need to be careful descending Portola Redwoods State Park. There is the bailout option of skipping the park and just ascending West Alpine.
There is ample parking along Skyline on both sides between Alice's and Skywood Trading Post and is legal, you should see it up here on the weekends
Distance: 55 miles
Elevation Gain: 5,459'
Lunch: Bring to enjoy at Portola Redwoods State Park (or buy at Skylonda Trading Post at start of ride)
