HillsRUs C+DE/4.5(6200)/55 For New year's Day- Page Mill, Skyline, Black, Gist, Hwy 9

Wed, January 01, 2025 8:45 AM | Anonymous member

HillsRUs kicks off the year with a climb up Page Mill Road, a loop down Black and up Gist Road, and a descent on Highway 9 to see the state of the landslide. The rest of the ride will be stretches of Skyline, Steven's Canyon, Foothill and possibly Pierce, Mt Eden. If Hwy 9 is not open, we will reroute at the roadblock down Redwood Gulch.

Those who want a shorter route can skip the loop down Black and up Gist, but it would be nice to join us at the regroup at Castle Rock first. It's likely others there will also want to return early, and people all can ride as a group. That will save 13 miles and 1700' of climbing.

Otherwise, the route is 55 miles, with 6200' of elevation gain for a ride rating of 4.5

Start Location and Time: meet at Shoup Park at 8:45 for a 9:00 departure. Everyone can depart together and naturally sort out into different pace groups on the road.

We ask that people leave room in the Shoup lot for park users and instead park on either University or Lincoln Avenue.
