West Caughlin and Somerset Ride
Details
This ride starts at the Bartley Ranch Regional Park near the old school house pictured above.
We actually climb Caughlin ranch via a winding course that mixes climbing with relatively flat sections before a final push of about a mile of Cashill. We continue over the top to descend Caughlin Parkway to Plateau and then follow Mayberry and 4th street over to Somersett Ridge Parkway. We follow Somersett Parkway to the roller coaster (Forest Willow and Evening Rock) back to more of Somersett Parkway. After a detour on River Hill we descent the parkway to Mae Ann. We ascend Mae Ann to Robb Drive and then take 7th Street down. We cross the river on Sierra Street and take Ridge Street and Nixon to Mt Rose Street and finish on Lakeside.
