Let's do another ride we have not done in a while - the classic OLH to West Alpine to Skyline, and down 9 to the Saratoga maze.   

In racking my brain trying to come up with a ride, I was inspired by William Mueller's route.  Note the 30 minute later departure, to coincide with William's ride.  Their route to OLH is a tad longer than this classic HRU route, but I suspect/hope the social climbers will overlap with William's group at Little People's Park in Portola.

Assemble at the Shoup Park (park up above or at the church) at 9:15 for a 9:30 departure, with D/E riders launching a bit before the Social Climbers.

54 miles, with 5600' of climbing.  

Bring Lunch to enjoy at the pond at the top of Alpine road.
