IMPORTANT! START TIME!
The start time will be 7:30. Hopefully the earlier starting time will allow riders to beat the heat.
Starting Location
The ride will start and finish at Area 002 at Sangchris Lake State Park. Watch for the sign at the parking lot. There is not a lot of parking at this location but there is overflow parking directly across the street.
Routes Have Been Updated
On Monday, we rode the routes and found several areas with new gravel and/or chip and seal. In the interest of safety, the routes have been updated to avoid these areas. If you have already downloaded the routes, it would be good to update your GPS device. LIkewise if you have printed off the PDF maps, please reprint, or make notes.
