Start the year right!
This ride starts in Doyle Park, near UTC and rides northward via Del Dios, Elfin Forest, San Marcos and up to Rainbow. The return is for big gear dudes along the SLR Bike Path and the coast. Around 6500ft climbing for this 123 mile adventure.

These roads are mostly familiar to NCCC riders.

Weather looks OK.
We ride, rain, snow or sun!

Thanks and have a good ride,
