This ride was postponed last week because of gusty high winds at altitude.

Straightforward loop up Redwood Gulch and Hwy 9 to Skyline, back the usual way via Page Mill, Altamont, Taaffe, etc. 32 miles, 3500 ft., ACTC goats: RWG Redwood Gulch, 9NU Hwy 9 North Upper. Bring lunch to eat at the CDF fire station just north of Saratoga Gap. Rain cancels.

REMINDER: Steve Chapel and/or Dave Fitch will lead the next 5 weeks (December 14–January 11 inclusive), during which Hils R Us is not listed with ACTC since neither of them is a member. undefinedMichael Khaw
