23 mi, 3 M, 3600 ft; Fremont Older Park
The weather should be a bit better and we need a local ride. This route will traverse every Fremont Older trail segment in a minimum distance and (I think) the least amount of climbing. There is quite a bit of climbing involved but none of the trails are overly technical or extremely steep, so gravel bikers are welcome. We'll meet at Mountain Mike's Pizza, ready to ride at 9:00 sharp to avoid any possible heat later in the day. As always, plan to be self sufficient but water and restrooms are available near Stevens Creek Reservoir. This is a very complicated route, so please download the route into your GPS/phone before the ride (let me know by Saturday noon if you need a paper map showing the route). Post-ride re-hydration at Mountain Mike's after the ride. Start location: 12850 Saratoga Sunnyvale Rd, Saratoga CA [Route/Map]
