It's forecast to be wet on the coast Wednesday and Zayante is always calling to me so let's do Zayante. Since Redwood Gulch and Mt Eden are newly chip sealed let's avoid them this time and get to Zayante by starting at Lexington Dam

As usual there will be two groups with the fastest riders leaving first followed by the Social Climbers(C+D)

Starting Location: Parking Lot .3 mi past the dam at Lexington Reservoir. There is a $6 fee to park there (Credit/Debit Card). There is also a free dirt area across the street from the parking lot that can handle about 8 cars.

Directions: take the Bear Creek Rd exit off of Hwy 17, go across Hwy 17 and turn left like you were getting on 17. Take Alma Bridge Rd and go .6 mi to the parking lot just past the dam

Start Time: be there by 8:45 for a 9 am departure.

Distance: 57 miles

Elevation: 5500 feet

Lunch: Bring or Buy to eat at the Covered Bridge County Park in Felton (at the intersection of Mt Hermon Rd and Graham Hill Rd)
