Ginger’s Going Up Reddington Rd C/2-3/29

Route Map Link
Let’s meet near LeBuzz, (I will be closer to the McDonald’s) The weather looks to be favorable for a 7:00 am start (more time for any west siders to make it over) Try to be there at 6:45ish to sign-in and get wheels rolling at 7:00. We’ll head up Catalina Hwy and then take Lemmon Short road to Agua Caliente Park, warm up for the climb with a nice side trip to Agua Caliente Trailhead off Ft. Lowell, then on to Reddington via 49ers away from some traffic. After we get as far up Reddington Pass as we each feel comfortable doing we’ll head back on Tanque Verde to LeBuzz. Please study and know the route. You could also download it to your devise. This is a social ride with an estimated end of ride average 14 - 15mph.
