If you haven't done the Bike Hut Challenge yet, you're out of luck on this ride unless you miss the turnoff from 84. Please inform the ride leader if you plan on doing so.
With the break in the weather, we're bringing the start of the ride back to Shoup Park this week, climbing Old La Honda, checking the road condition on the descent down West Old La Honda then climbing Alpine Road and having lunch at Alpine Lake. From there we will take Skyline to Highway 9, climb Pierce, and *handwave* take some back roads to Foothill and back to Shoup.
Starting Location and Time> Shoup Park at 8:45 for a 9:00 departure. Everyone will leave at the same time unless the Social Climbers are talking too much ;-)
