Let's do our first HRU climb up Tunitas Creek this year - possibly the most iconic climb we do.  I've not been on Higgins since it reopened Sept 6, and am very curious to see the repairs. This version goes down Lobitos Creek, which I also don't do very often, and up Purisima Creek.  

Assemble at the Pioneer Parking lot (next to the police station) at 8:45 for a 9:00 departure, with D/E riders launching a bit before the Social Climbers. 

51.2 miles, with 5656' of climbing.  

Lunch is at the San Benito House in HMB.  If you want a sandwich, it's fastest to call and order ahead.
