Meet at 9:00 am
Pre-registration
Today is our day on the mountain. I've listed the traditional loop ride counterclockwise, but we may need to be flexible and substitute the (even steeper) west side up and back or something else depending on weather and road conditions. We'll finalize the night before at our cocktail hour. The loop has idyllic country roads for the first and last 15 miles, with a steep climb over Mt Fig in the middle and an uncomfortably steep descent on some poor pavement. There is a short section of unpaved road near the start of the big climb, and a slippery stream crossing to be very careful about. Lunch at Panino in Los Olivos, but that is very late in the ride so bring snacks. There is no reliable water available until lunch, so bring plenty.

Current membership in GPC is expected. A cheerful adventurous attitude is encouraged. Load the route into your navigation device or print your own cue sheet. Please pre-register if you would like the leader to keep some track of you.
