Hills-R-Us ride for 12/12/12.  Again the weather forecast for Wed is poor. However if it is clear we will do the Quarry to Olive Tree (MOT), Mora (MOR) and Montebello (MNB). 33 miles, 3900 ft. No lunch stop, bring lunch to eat at the top of Montebello.

Again the weather forecast for Wed is 60% rain. However if it is clear we will do last week's ride - the modified version of Frank's Crank, 21 miles, 2400 ft., no lunch stop. If the weather is good at the end we might add some more hills.
