    MP gave me a link to a ride up there that I plan on doing over Memorial Day weekend. It's about 100 miles and I think it includes both Skaggs and Fort Ross. Of course it's on my home e mail.

    V - will you have SAG? There isn't any water that I am aware of on Skaggs, so be prepared. Once you hit Hwy 1 there is a campground before Ft. Ross that has facilities. There's also a store just before you turn off 1 to go on Ft. Ross Rd.

    You can also make the ride a bit easier by omitting Ft. Ross and going down 1 to Jenner.

    Also be careful on the Skaggs descent as there is a somewhat hidden in shadow cattle guard. (I don't know if I mentioned that in my email but it just occurred to me.)

    Deanna - sounds like a great ride! YEah, I put 2 and 2 together after the fact and realized that must have been why you posted about Coleman.

    Thom probably won't ride it with me, so he'll be around to do water duty.
    I want to keep it hard.

    I'd love to see a route slip and stats on this... does anyone have those? Or Veronica, would you be willing to share what you've got? I'm sure its still way over my head but I might make completing it a goal for the summer~

    If you mean the Stewarts Point store, I wouldn't count on this store being open yet. It was closed for remodeling late last year and nobody has yet confirmed that it has reopened.

    That's right. I haven't been up there in a while.
