Picket Post South!

Described as similar to Black Canyon Trail, with awesome views and sweet, smooth singletrack with some good climbs. The wild flowers are in bloom this time of year so bring your camera!

The ride will be an out and back, so riders can go at their own pace and as far as they choose. Plan on about 3 of hours riding with options to do more or less. This ride is suited for high level beginners with good cardio and up. We will plan on getting to the trailhead at about 9:00-9:30. See meeting place and time below.

MEETING TIME / PLACE:

Home Depot Power Rd and US 60 at 8:30am and we can carpool or caravan from there to the trail head which is 33.8 miles east on U.S. 60 (right on E. Saddleridge Rd., left on N. Alamo Canyon Rd. to the trail-head)

Please call the organizer if you have any questions. [masked].

    Steve, one of these time I'd love to carpool, but I need to keep it flexible this weekend and be able to bail out of the ride early if necessary and get back home.
