Climbing Club - Feb Goals

[Deanna]

My goals for February are a little different. I'm not going to set feet/month this time. I think I'll target a couple of local climbs. So, my list is the Geysers, the Harrison Grade/Sweetwater loop, and I'd like to make it up the Mill Creek ladder without having to stop because I'm seeing stars. That's the toughest 1/4 mile in the area.

where's Mill Creek??

in a few weeks we do our pine flat/geysers ride. epic! but I don't think you ever want to do the geysers alone, right?? it's creepy on the other side.

Mill Creek is just outside of Healdsburg off of Westside Road, just west of West Dry Creek (that's a lot of Wests). You wouldn't know the climb is back there as you have to go in quite a bit of ways to get to it (it's a nice gradual climb most of the way). It's rural residential and very pretty when the creek is flowing and in the Spring time.

I didn't find the Geysers particularly creepy. Though there have been some "harvests" raided and during certain times of the year you might want to watch out for the gardeners. If you don't mind a non team member, I might join you for part of the Geysers/Pine Flat Epic. I certainly am not ready to do both in one day.

is mill creek the one that goes off the the right when you're going south on westside??

we'll talk about geysers. I still think you should consider signing up. you are plenty strong from what I have seen. come to our ride next week (saturday) out of finley center at 830. you can meet some of the team - that ride's open to anyone interested. 35 miles, pretty easy. (it has to be - there's not much there!)

Well hot dang, I climbed 16,000 ft in January pats self on back

I'm still sticking with my 12,000 ft goal for Feb - it's a shorter month after all.

I did 29,000 feet (remember i'm using Bikely.com To get my elevation data, so I could be off) in Jan, but i'm thinking about 20,000 feet for feb. -shorter month and some less hilly rides planned
