The Saturday morning SFCC club ride is intended to be one of the easier club rides of the week for the less experienced rider, but once rolling, the group usually breaks into smaller groups varying from casual to paceline fast. I will be the sweep at the back and ride at the pace of the most mellow rider and assist as needed. Other than the Flower Farm Cafe, there are no restrooms, water or snacks along the route.
Non-members are always welcome, but will need to sign a waiver before going on the ride. Helmets are absolutely required, and safety lights & cell phone are recommended. Bring a spare tube and a pump/inflator just in case.
Please print out your own route sheet, but I will have a few if you forget. Arrive early since we roll at 8:30 after a brief discussion.

When: Monday, June 7th to Friday, June 11th (4 nights)
Members...Summer Camp will be in Mt. Shasta City this coming year! We will be based at the Mt. Shasta KOA The facility has RV camping (both full hookups and water/elec sites), tent camping, and kamping kabins. The closest motel to the KOA (2 blocks away) is the Cold Creek Inn.
Plan on three days of cycling and at least one hike. Our hilly cycling routes will be mostly the Mt. Shasta Super Century 135 miler spread across three days. Somewhat flatter routes also available. The hike is TBD.
Click here for a sneak preview of the routes under consideration. There is no need to RSVP at this time...in mid May I'll ask for your RSVP (and will keep track a different way).
And of course there is much more to do in Mt. Shasta than ride a bike, and I'll also be detailing some of those activities in future emails.
Mark your calendars, make your reservations, and stay tuned!
