    @Mikie can you paste the Strava link to that ride.
    Thinking I may be in ... Little concerned about the pace not as much saddle time lately. Of course can probably find my way back if fall behind.

    It's a social ride..... @Mikie says to bring your A game...:but I think any C+ game will get you through it.

    The info you seek is in the ride invite....at least the important distance/elevation and profile. Other than that, You can't get lost on SART unless you wander off the main trail.

    Nevermind. :whistling:

    There's no water at Southfork Campground to fill up, or heads there? There was the last time I did that ride.

    Ok that makes 2 of us... someone needs to fill out the center of the curve.

    EDIT ...Perhaps the bottom of the curve ;)

    Hey all,
    It has been suggested we start earlier, suggesting 7:30am. I hate making changes last minute, but I thought I should at least throw it out there...
    I was trying to accommodate distant travelers (LIKE ME!) But also want to take into consideration heat and stuff. Heat don't bother me much so throwing it out there.

    Heat? Angelus Oaks shows a high of 81° tomorrow. Of course earlier generally means better.

    It's a different kind of heat at elevation.

    If we are lucky, they are getting a thunderstorm or 2 right now.

    Last time (the only time) I did this route there was a father and daughter combo riding a tandem bike the WHOLE route! The daughter was only 12 years old or so btw. It was HOT AF that day too. Just a little inspiration for those that think they can't pull off the ride.....Carry On!

    I can't make it obviously but will be there in spirit!

    I think it's too late to change the time now. Let's leave it.

    I'm going to try pulling this off, bringing my D- socially promoted game. I figure I can do PO loop, maybe out and back to Glass Rd. Mostly doubtful I won't be able to make it to Southfork.

    Just confirming, we're meeting the parking/pull-out at the top of Middle Control Rd?

    A lot of the route is sheltered in the canopy too, so it's not like you are riding exposed trail the whole day like I am used to at Sycamore (or roadie).

    I'm 20% in. Small chance I'll get up and cruise the trail, but not likely. I need to do some chores tomorrow and be fresh on Sunday.

    Lunch at The Oaks?
