Another climb in preparation for the Death Ride. It represents a challenge, but is still attainable for someone who isn't used to climbing. This will be a hard climb and there is no food or water along the route so bring whatever you need with you. We meet at the Power Inn Rd. Park & Ride, then carpool to the Green Valley Shopping Center in Danville. Please compensate drivers for fuel. $5.00 per hour of driving time is fair.

Distance: 28 miles (out and back, 14 miles each way)
Terrain: Urban & Country Roads
Elevation Gained: 3513 ft climbing (Max. 15% grade)
Skill Level: Strong Climbing Riders
Speed: 6-12 mph on hill (this one is just hill, nothing else) / 30+ on descents
Sweep: No, but we'll regroup at the turn-around.
Pace: As fast as possible, which is not likely to be very fast.

I would offer to stop for beers afterward, but I practice Alcohol Free January. Find out more about that here...

As always, helmets are required.
This event starts at the light rail station in the hope that you'll save gas, money and the environment by taking the train. The train costs $2.50 (cheaper than you can drive) and schedules can be seen here...

Just make sure your train says "Folsom" or "Sunrise" on it.
