West Caughlin and Somersett

We collect at the Bartley Ranch Park at 10:15am near the old schoolhouse to sign in and prepare and roll out at 10:30am

The route goes up the West Caughlin Hills on a winding path
and has about a moderate 5 mile lead in before hitting a 4.4 mile climb

This ride has an easily created short version for which I will post
a route in the next day. The main ride will continue with a long downhill
and flat section followed by a trek through Somersett.
