Assuming the weather is ok....
Distance: 55mi
Climbing: ~6000-6500 ft, RWGPS is wrong! Prospectors is optional. Anyone that wants to skip it can hang out at the shop/gas station at 49/Marshal.
Regroups: Hill tops and as needed.
Pace: 17'ish on flats
Sweep: No, bring a cue sheet
Route: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/905008
Helmet, water, snacks, and a great attitude required! Please leave MP3 players and aerobars at home.
We rode this route the other direction a week or so ago and it was a lot of fun. Let's try it this way and add in Prospectors Grade for anyone that's interested.
Come on out and enjoy the climbing!
I'm returning this back to Feb 5. Been sick all week and doubt I'll have recovered enough. I'm plotting out a lighter route for this Sunday.
This route is one of my favorites, I'm on... Is there regrouping points?
Ebers, regroups are at hill tops. So top of Salmon Falls, bottom and top of Prospectors, etc.
John, you can always turn around after 15.... ;-)
