Email: sagebum@charter.net | | Type of Ride: road |
Pace: Medium Terrain: Hard | | Depart Time: 7:00 AM |
Mileage: 74 | | Meeting Place: South Upper Truckee Rd. and Old Meyers Grade just off Hwy 50 Meyers, CA See map below. | | Description: This is a remote and difficult ride with much climbing and few places to resupply. There can be some traffic on 50 and 88 too. There may be water at a campground between Strawberry and Hwy 88. There will likely be no SAG support and riders should be prepared to ride on alone if too fast or slow. We can try to regroup but it will not be required on this ride. It is just the nature of a ride with 7000+ ft. or so of climbing. It could be hot. Bring plenty of food and water! Arrive at 6:45 AM and be ready to roll at 7:AM sharp!
