I will be leading a select group of riders up into the hills around Riverside this Sunday. This will NOT be part of the normal B/C/D groups, but if you are want to tackle some of the hardest hills around this ride is for you.
If you are entered in any of the upcoming "King of the Mountains" rides, this will be a good training ride. If you are not used to climbing, this will be pure and simple torture.
The route is 68 miles with 3800' of climbing. The Agenda includes:
1. Spruce
2. Mount Vernon
3. Watkins
4. Lochmoor
<Insert fun downhill here>
5. Central (Chicago-Canyon Crest)
6. Canyon Crest
7. Canyon Hills
8. Berry (toward Trautwein)
<downhill>
9. Overlook
10. Gratton
11. Lakepointe Part 1
12. Sunbeam (parallel to lower Lakepoint, but steeper)
<downhill>
13. Licoln/Skyridge
14. Lakepointe Part 2
<downhill>
15. Orangemont
16. Praed
17. Canyonwind
<Recovery on Victoria>
<Congratulate the Survivors>

Hope to See you There.
PS: This ride won't be going at a fast pace. If you find yourself in the lead at the top of a hill, please go back down to the last rider. Or just get cold if you want. This is a group ride and we will try to stay together as best as possible.
