Ride Description

94 mi, 6 LM, 14,000 ft; Mt Hamilton/Lower,Mt Hamilton/Middle,Mt Hamilton/Upper,Mt Hamilton/Back,Kincaid,Calaveras/Lower,Felter,Quimby East,Quimby West

Ride Start/Finish: Fowler Creek Park along Altia Ave. Temperatures today are supposed to be mild, so we can do the Hamilton DRT! Just in case, I'm starting the ride at 7am. Email me if you want to start at 7:30am. If the forecast changes to 85+ d., I will post an update to the Rides Bulletin and the E-list and switch to my Summer DRT Route. Ham Back and Kincaid can get really hot! The Death Ride is in 2 weeks, 7/11/26. There is ample daylight now for even a slow cyclist. Jennifer is doing the Alta Alpina today, so I'm leading this one by myself. Faster cyclists can go at their own pace. This ride has many "bailout" options, especially at the end. So you can push yourself to your limit and then limp back to the car. Shorten the ride as needed. Sunset will be at 8:31 pm with Civil Twilight lasting until 9:02 pm. So you have a 13.5+hour window to get this ride done! Start location: Fowler Creek Park [Route/Map]
