We are going to tackle Alba, Jamison and the 3 Empires in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Rolling at 9:30 AM, starting at Highlands County Park off Hwy 9 in Ben Lomond. Ride at your own speed: fast or slow. I will be leading in back, middle or front depending on the speed of the riders. Optional regroups at Alba Summit, Jamison Summit and the U turn at Heller at the bottom of Empire lower. There is a porta potty at the start and finish. Nothing in between. It's supposed to be hot so bring plenty of water and snacks. Start location: Highlands County Park Ben Lomond [Route Link]
