    Looks like the weather may cooperate. This is a FUN little ride with two up and backs, Summit Springs and Patrol. Warm up on Moody and Golden Oak with Kings and finally LaCresta.

    45 miles, 5,200 feet. Water at Foothill Park, Triangle Park or Little People's Park, or Huddart Park if needed.

    Bring or buy lunch at Skywood Market, Sky Londa. Rain cancels, fog or heavy winds on Skyline changes route.

    The weather is looking iffy so we can stay local if we need to depart early.

    40 miles, 4800? ft. Mora, Parker Ranch, Sarahills, Toll Gate, Mt. Eden/Pierce, Montebello.

    No lunch stop (bring lunch to eat at top of Montebello).

    Bring plenty of water, no chances to refill after Rancho San Antonio (optional detour after Mt. Eden to rest stop on Stevens Canyon.
