Big Basin by way of Felton Empire C+/D 4.7(6899)/58.7

Wednesday Aug 6th, meet at 8:45 for a 9am for a start.

Assemble at the Castle Rock Park on Skyline. You can park at Skyline and 9, then ride a couple miles south to the start. You can park a block south of Castle Rock at the trailhead on the right if going south on 9. You could also park in the Castle Rock parking lot for a fee, but the credit card machines are not working. Meet at 8:45am for a 9am start, be there or be square.

People seem to have an avoidance to Castle Rock, but it's closer than Lexington for most and is safe for parking, from my experience.

Another concern is ascending Felton Empire, but during this time traffic should be light and it's honestly not much different than Page Mill.

Bring lunch or buy across the street to enjoy at the Covered Bridge Park. 

Plan for a warm day!!

58.7 miles, 6899’ of climbing.
