“The afternoon knows what the morning never suspected.” Robert Frost. Celebrating the poet who took the road less traveled, we offer a choice of two start locations & times: 9:00 at the Hiway 9 & Skyline parking lot (aka the Gap), or 9:30 at the parking area 6 miles down Hiway 9 to the upper junction at 236 (where the ride leaders will start). Feel free to add/remove goats along the way. Bring extra water & treats because Big Basin is pretty empty these days. Regroups at each summit, no riders' behinds left, and don’t believe everything you think. Start location: CA-9 & Old Mill Rd [Route/Map]
