Sunday A-Ride – 1/12/25 – Big Basin

This week’s Sunday A-Ride will be a classic Big Basin loop. As always, feel free to have fun on the climbs—I'll be riding at an endurance pace, so come join us even if you’re not going for PRs. We’ll regroup at the top of each climb (and any descents if we get separated) to make sure everyone stays together.

We’ll stop for water at the following locations: just before climbing RWG/9 (mile 13), at the Jamison Creek Rd. fire station (mile 40), and at Castle Rock (mile 60). This is a long ride, so we’ll keep stops quick, and please bring all the food you need.

Hope to see you out there!
