Steve Chapel leads this 70 mile ride.

Dave Fitch leads this 66 mile, 6200 ft. ride.

Mike Harding leads this 35 miles, 4500? ft. ride. One change from the original route: the main route will go up Bohlman, leaving On Orbit to (in the ride leader's words) "the macho types"; i.e., at the junction of Quickert and On Orbit, the main route turns R to descend to Bohlman, then L to continue up Bohlman to the summit.

Due to fresh oil and chip coat on Kennedy (thank Steve Prothero for the route condition info), the route for Wednesday is changed:

Redwood Gulch, Hwy 9, Bear Creek, Black

RWG Redwood Gulch, Hwy 9, SN1 Skyline to Bear Creek, down Bear Creek, up BLK Black, and return via Skyline, Hwy 9, Pierce/Mt. Eden. 58 miles, 7000 ft. No lunch stop. Rain cancels.

Bring food/snacks as there aren't any places to get them. Also bring lots of water: there are some places to refill along the way, but some longish stretches with no water sources.
