Catalina State Park/50 Year/The Chutes/Middle Gate

We'll plan to ride the 50 Year Trail from Catalina State Park, do the Chutes, then return by way of Middle Gate. Ride can vary based on who shows up. Fun trail with plenty of challenges. The beginning of 50 Year and the Chutes is suitable for most riders, although quite a climb for several miles from Catalina State Park to the gate before dropping down into Golder Ranch. Middle Gate is a bit more technical with more climbing and some hike-a-bike for beginners. This is about a three hour ride and about 20 miles.

Meet at the Chase Bank parking lot across from the Catalina State Park entrance, ready to ride at 7:30.
