Other Notes
Due to backroad access permit requirements, this event is limited to a total of 7 participants. 2 slots are reserved for the organizers so 5 additional slots will be available for meetup members. Signups without reservations by Monday 3/16 will be removed to allow for potential waitlist members.

There will be some off road riding along with steep terrain. This ride is not for beginners. Rest stops and food stops will be available on the route. Bring proper clothing/layers and sufficient hydration/nutrition. Helmets are mandatory.

Brook will be the official leader of this ride as I have never been on Catalina. I plan to rent an ebike and serve as sweep.
