Bohlman/On Orbit, Oh No!!!

Wed, September 07, 2011 10:00 AM | Michael Khaw (Administrator)
35 miles, 4500? ft. Easy warmup via the Maze, up the hard way to the end of Bohlmann via Norton, Kittredge, Quickert, On Orbit. Return via Bohlman, Pierce/Mt. Eden. ACTC goats: BOO Bohlman/On Orbit, MEN Mt. Eden/Pierce. No lunch stop, bring lunch to eat at regroup at top of Bohlman. Also bring low gears for the 22-23% section of On Orbit, and good tires for the fast, steep descent—we don't want any blowouts on the way down! Rain cancels, sweltering heat may alter route.

Distance:  37.38 miles (2 miles off because Google Maps insists on going 1 mile along unpaved Montevina Trail before turning around)
Total Ascent: 5102 feet (higher than what most altimeters would record)

    11 Western Wheelers, 2 ACTC members and 2 members of both clubs came for this leg buster on the hottest day of a warm summer week! Everyone made it to the top and tolerated the growling/barking Rottweiler and Doberman (thankfully behind a stout fence), and made it back down safely.

    My altimeter only recorded 3500 ft in 35 miles for a 100 ft/mile ride.
