http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/b/3/f/8/event_231106072.jpegWe'll be riding Cheeseboro, as it is an ideal place for a beginner's ride. Just watch out for the big rock with poison oak!! We'll ride 'til we drop, (to Shepherd's Flat) and turn around and ride back. I guarantee it will be a fun ride.

Helmets are mandatory and please bring a two-way radio if you have one, set at 5/25, it helps keep the group together. No rider gets left behind.

Endurance Rating = E2, Technical Rating = T2.5, About 2 Hours
