In the fine -possibly made up- tradition of recycling the previous week's rained-out ride, we will again attempt Shawnery's ride that climbs Los Trancos and King's Mountain Roads, goes along Skyline, and descends Hwy 9 and Redwood Gulch.
There are a few easy bail out points- after Los Trancos, down 84 or Page Mill, or turn around and backtrack wherever. Note that Skyline will likely be wet, so either turn around after Kings, or expect a dirty bike.
Tentative regroups at the top of Joaquin Road, top of Kings, and Skyline & Hwy 9. The route does not take the usual detour through Huddart Park, but people are welcome to Rempelize it and go that way anyway. If they stop at the Sequoia rest stop for too long, the regroup at the top of Kings might not wait for them.
