Santa
Cruz Mountains
Big Trees Ride
(and
barbecue)
7/31/05
The
ride begins 09:30
at the Overlook at the junction of 92 and Skyline Blvd. From here we
head south to Sky Londa.
We turn right on 84 and go to La Honda,
where we turn left onto Pescadero Road. This takes us to Alpine Road
which will return us to Skyline Blvd. We make
a right onto Hwy 9 and proceed to Big
Basin Redwoods State
Park, via 236, where we will stop for a snack break. Everyone
should consider gassing-up in Boulder
Creek. Leaving town on Bear Creek Rd, we proceed along 35
to Summit Rd, eventually arriving in Corralitos
via Highland Way
and Eureka Canyon Rd. Any last minute provisions can be picked up here
before the final climb to the picnic
area
in Mt.
Madonna Park.
This is a deceptively long ride, so I cut the route back to about 102
miles in length. It will take
about 4+ hours in the saddle. I warned you, this ride ain't for no sissys!
We'll meet at the Overlook at the
junction of 92 and Skyline Blvd.
09:30
My
brother Gary will be Ride Leader this time and I will be pulling the
Chuck Wagon, as Tail Gunner. I'll provide the food and
supplies for the barbecue. I'm planning on ribs, assorted sausages,
assorted salads, assorted canned drinks, and other goodies. If anyone
has special dietary needs, they will have to provide them. We can pick
up any last minute items at the Corralitos Market and Sausage Co. We
will use a first-come-first-first-served picnic area in Mt. Madonna
Park.
This is a great setting for a barbecue meal.

Somethings
to look forward to.
