Type of Ride: road Pace: Medium Terrain: Hard
Depart Time: 4:30AM Mileage: 215
Meeting Place: Monitor Pass, East side parking lot near Topaz.
Description: I am thinking of riding the big loop from topaz out over Ebetts to the town of Sonora and back to the start over Sonora Pass. This ride is pretty strenuous, so I probably won't do it if no one is interested. Email me by Thursday if you are interested and capable of riding this one. Because there is a lot of climbing over the 215 mile loop, and I don't want to lead a death march, everyone that comes along should have ridden this sort of distance already. Also, I will set a time-cut at Alpine Lakes, after which it would be wiser to turn around or get a motel in Sonora. email me if you are interested. It is a good ride, but it pushes my abilities, so I am a little hesitant to post it and say I am going to lead it.

About 65 mi/6800 ft on the metric and 102 mi/10,800 ft on the century. One last chance this year to come and learn this trick route.

Meeting Place: Ride starts at the Whitmore Ball field on "Green Church Road" aka Benton Crossing a few miles south of the airport south of Mammoth Lakes on HWY 395.
Description: The is the High Sierra Fall Century in Reverse. Less HWY ride time if you use the scenic loop to return to Mammoth. My preference is to start in the town of Mammoth and ride to the start to sign in. Its $15 for non-club members. Free for members- I think its $35 for a club membership. They serve a nice lunch near the forest just before Mono Lake. Remember its a counter-clockwise ride. This is a small century of mostly the Eastside Velo club members so don't start too late or you may miss some of the rest stops. I believe its about 4500 feet of climbing. Please RSVP with the Eastsidevelo bike club. http://www.eastsidevelo.org/?q=node/10693 Loop is 94 miles but if you start and end in Mammoth its 100.

We'll regroup at intersections, and at Capps Crossing Campground, which is about halfway through and you can get water there. Last stretch is on HWY 88 for about 10 miles.

Description: This rde qualifies for Wild Hillacious metric Credit. Pace is more like Easy/Fast and anything in between. Most of this loop is on small, very lightly traveled Forest Service roads, most with very good pavement, but there's one stretch that definitely requires good tires. These are remote roads, no stores, so please be self-sufficient. We'll regroup at intersections that require a turn off the obvious route, if you go too far ahead and don't know route you will end up on HWY 88. There is a campground about halfway, water is available, as well as restrooms. (Capps Crossing Campground) This isn't the same as the Packsaddle Pass ride - this ride stays on the south/west side of Mormon Emigrant Trail. If you miss this ride don't worry, we will do it again this summer as it is worth doing many times! If you know the route and want to ride faster let us know at the start so that we don't think you are lost! I think its about 6000' of climbing.

The 6000 ft of climbing is very steep, but the high-alpine scenery makes it all worthwhile. Streams and waterfalls will be gushing. Food and water is available in Dardanelles. If you're not up for the whole enchilada, doing just the east side is still a very tough and scenic ride.

Contact me if you want to carpool from the Carson Valley.
Description: A bit out of the way, but worth the drive. Most of the loop is on small, very lightly traveled Forest Service roads, most with very good pavement, though there's one stretch that definitely requires good tires. These are remote roads, no stores, so please be self-sufficient. We'll regroup at all intersections, and at Capps Crossing Campground, which is about halfway through and you can get water there. In answer to a common question, this isn't the same as the Packsaddle Pass ride - this ride stays on the south/west side of Mormon Emigrant Trail.

Meeting Place: Behind Markleeville Store
Description: OK jut one more Hell's Kitchen post as several riders have ad some good questions. The ride times of 6 AM with Brenda and 7 AM with me are when we start riding, not when we get there. Be ready to ride at those times. Faster riders can leave when they want. Fast riders don't have to wait for slower riders. Groups will naturally form based on speed. At least one of us will help the last person in (probably me) :-) It will be hot and we do not have a SAG Volunteer. If you are a rider who knows someone who will SAG, please call or email. Have at least two water bottles. There will be water at the Silver Creek Campground about 1/3 the way up the East Side of Ebbetts and none until over Ebbetts and Pacific Grade at Lake Alpine. There is water and food at Lake Alpine and at Bear Valley. There is water at the Spicer Meadow Reservoir 50 mile turn around. The Miler turn around is at the very end of Spicer Meadow Road below the dam. The Metric turn around is at Lake Alpine Resort. If you miss Brenda or me at the start to sign in, look for some Alta jerseys and sign in sometime during the ride. If this ride doesn't fit your needs this weekend, yes, it is OK to post another ride. Post it and go have some fun! Hope that covers all the questions I have received. See you there!

Depart Time: 8:00 Mileage: 15-16
Meeting Place: Gardnerville Starbucks
Description: There has been quite a bit of positive response to this ride, although an equal number of riders indicated that that they will not be able to make it on June 26th; so, I have scheduled this as a weekly ride for the next few Saturdays to see if this really does get off the ground. *** This is for those of us who do not seem to have enough time to log lots of miles and get into great shape, but still want to some low-key riding with others. Less enthusiastic spouses are also encouraged to do this ride. *** coffee option after ride *** Pinenut Loop: east on Toler / Fish Springs; south on Out-R-Way; west on Pinenut Road; north on East Valley Road; west on Toler (back to Starbucks). *** I was planning on this being an easy pace @ around 75-80 minutes for the 16-mile loop, but if the consensus is to kick it up to a easy/moderate pace and complete the loop in about 60-65 minutes, that would be fine, too. *** RAIN and/or STRONG WIND cancels ride.

One sign was lost between Picketts Junction and the top of Luther(the rest stop was right before you descend down to Tahoe). The other was somewhere between Turtle Rock and the top of Kingsbury, and could be on Diamond Valley or Emigrant, too. Note that face-down the signs are plain black, and could be hard to spot in the weeds. If you find one please contact me, Jennie Hamiter, per above contact info.

Description: The 2010 version of the Alta Alpina Commuter Mileage Challenge will have a little different format. This year, we (me and the board) have decided to encourage all members to sign up for the Alta Alpina “team” in the Tahoe Bike Coalition Bike 2 Work Week Challenge (TBCB2WC) from May 24th to June 4th. This will help promote the Tahoe Bike Coalition to our members and will be less work to track member’s miles. You do not have to live in the Lake Tahoe Basin to participate. The TBCB2WC will tabulate and display each participant’s (and team’s) logged commuter and play miles, and elevation climbed. Only your “commuter” miles posted on the TBCB2WC will count for the Alta Alpina CMC, but do record your play miles too. Alta Alpina was first in play miles last year! We should want to defend that title! The board said something about prizes, so there may be some gold in your commute this year. Go To TahoeBike.org to register. Follow the buttons or click on the events tab to find the Bike 2 Work Week Challenge page. The sign up button is at the bottom. If you registered for last year’s Alta Alpina team in the TBCB2WC, then you are already on this year’s roster. Questions? Email me @ Intandempc2@aol.com

Type of Ride: road Pace: Medium Terrain: Easy
Depart Time: 9:00am-ish Mileage: 100
Meeting Place: Leave Minden area about 6:30am. Drive to Folsom, specifically the Nimbus Fish Hatchery off of Hazel Avenue. We will shoot for a 9:00am ride start time. Let me know if you are interested, there might be last minute changes. Driving conditions will be a factor too.
Description: Ride from Folsom to Auburn, then back to Folsom for lunch, after lunch we will ride to Sacramento and back. Most of this ride is on bike trails. It's approx 50 miles from Folsom to Auburn and back, so someone could cut their ride to 50 miles. They are supposed to have a heat wave over the mountain, so expect temps in the high-40's. Which is a lot warmer than the 1 degree that my car registered this morning in Carson Valley. Does anyone have a Hawaii time share that I can use for a couple of months ?
