Route

This self-paced out-and-back ride will cover approximately 60 miles of riding with 6000-ft of elevation gain in the first 30 miles! We will regroup at the top and have cookies at The Cookie Cabin before sailing back down to the cars.

This challenging ride will take somewhere around 3-5 hours depending on your fitness level and number of stops. There are no water sources until Bigelow Trailhead (mile 24), so you need to carry enough water and nutrition to support your ride.

Temperatures average 74-degrees at the bottom and 57-degrees at the top but can be much cooler, so plan your clothing appropriately.

To ensure a safe and enjoyable ride, please come prepared with the following:

• A well-maintained bicycle

• A helmet (mandatory)

• A rear, flashing red light (mandatory)

• Water bottles and snacks (mandatory)

• A charged cell phone in case of emergency (mandatory)

• Appropriate cycling attire

• Sunscreen and sunglasses are highly recommended

• A positive attitude and willingness to work hard and have fun!
