Egan 2023.17 - Golden Fawn
This week we will be making our way to some of our less frequently visited climbs in Westridge. Among our stops will be Golden Fawn, which appears to have been last visited in 2018. With the heat in the forecast, be sure to bring enough water - 2 bottles recommended.
The Pescadero Road Race (July 22) is also coming up! AV is making a significant investment to host the race this year despite the closing of Stage Rd. We need volunteers to make sure Pesky is a positive, successful and safe experience for racers. Please consider giving back to the club by signing up to volunteer and/or race.
