RUSSIAN RIVER TRIP - DAY 3 OPTION A - 2.5 MILE RIVER TUBE FLOAT

Details

This is day 3 option (A) of a 4 day trip to Guerneville on the Russian River near Santa Rosa. Guerneville is known for its natural environment and proximity to wine-tasting and redwood forests. Make sure you sign on to the events you want to attend. Four of our events (June 3,4,5) will start in Guerneville. Of those four, three will be bike rides on narrow secluded paved back roads through redwood forested hills for the most part. One of the events will be a 2.5 mile inner tube float down The Russian River. (If relaxing on the Russian River isn't your thing, I have a bike loop route you can do instead on your own or with others that might choose to do so.) The one remote ride on June 2nd will take place 1.5 hours south of Guerneville on a narrow paved road starting basically at sea level and winding all the way to the top of Mount Tamalpais (Mt. Tam).

Make sure you bring along your bike battery, battery key and charger as well as a spare inner tube or slime.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You'll need to pay for a rental (river tube, stand-up paddle board, single or double kayak). It's much cheaper to rent the river floats at $25/day which most of us will be doing. They provide the paddles and life vest.
Once I get more info on renting them in advance from Russian River Tubes & Kayaks, I'll add it to this section of the write up.

WARNING: There will be WWW members on this event, so be prepared to be drenched by water cannons.
