Bruce's Horses to Horses - C/2/34
Details
Hi Everyone -
I'm bringing back a favorite version of the Horses to Horses Ride. We'll go through the Forty Niner Country Club Estates then take Wentworth to Speedway and ride out to the trailhead (see photo above). We can have lunch at Street Tacos after the ride.
We'll start at Street Tacos, loop around Woodland to see the horses, and go up Catalina Highway to Snyder. Then down to Agua Caliente Park for a short bio-break and from there down to Tanque Verde. We'll then go east on Tanque Verde to the 49ers golf course and out to the end of Speedway.
On the way back, we'll go up Connestoga and Melpomene to Snyder and ride west until we get to Bear Canyon, then fly down the hill to where we started.
This will be a social ride of 34 miles at a C pace (which means, on this ride, about 13 mph average). We'll regroup as needed, and no one will be left behind due to a mechanical problem. Come early to sign in, and we'll get our wheels rolling at 8:00.
No Plus 1's - Each participant must register through Meetup and provide their contact info beforehand.
