For those of you who have done the AIDS ride and know David McDevitt's two-day Russian River ride, you'll be pleased that the event is returning this year. Positive Pedalers will be sponsoring this event as a replacement for the Jonathan Pon Century; in fact, it will be called the Jonathan Pon Russian River Ride.

The dates are May 13 and 14. I am not sure of the exact start location yet, though it will likely be in Sausalito. The destination will be Cassini Ranch in Monte Rio. Day two will likely be short ride to the mouth of the Russian River, hang a left and whoopeee! Ride down the coast, into Point Reyes Station, may include the Marin Headlands.

Pre-registration will be required, there will be a maximum number of participants (about 150), a registration cut-off date, and a fee to cover the cost of support, gear, two meals and camp rental. Riders will need to furnish their own tents.

It's a beautiful route and nice 2 day tour. I do not know yet if it's limited to ALC riders only, although my hunch is if it does not fill up others can ride. Check the ALC site or with one of your TE gals if you wanna go.

Last time I did this ride i got lost so I hope to do it again just not the getting lost part. the take home lesson was "just because you see a rider ahead and they turn right, does not mean that I turn right"
