Sonoma Coast Hills - April 28

[Veronica]

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~

I just remembered I did a ride report on the Skaggs 100 miler:

Skagg's Spring just came up on my clubs chat list and advice on water sources was given:

"You will want to fill your bottles at the Lake Sonoma Visitor's Center... it's a long ride to the next water stop (more in time than miles). The next water is at the YMCA Camp... you'll know it when you get there. There is water on the deck of the main building. When you get to Stewarts Point there is a brown building on the left just before you get to Hwy 1 with a water spigot on the left side of the building. Traveling south on 1 there are some campgrounds and a couple of convenience stores before the Ft Ross turnoff."

Anybody considering this ride should probably note this on the map now that were heading for summer.

Holy COW!! Deanna, do you know anything about this ride, the "Fearsome FIve"?? IT is put on (informally I am sure) by SRCC. Look at this profile:

OMG. I cannot even imagine how crazy this ride is. It is like a low altitude Death RIde - with steeper grades and more climbing over all. Pine Flat at the END. All the way up!! Crazy!!!
