Pre-registration
Tackle one of the Epic Climb Series climbs and another epic climb-Bald Mountain and Lichau Road (also famous for being a "Gravity Road" and being the scene of Windows Wallpaper.
Note: Bald Mountain has a very steep, unpaved section. Gravel tires/gearing recommended but you can do most of it in skinny tires. I do not have a gravel bike so I expect to walk both part of the way up and down. It is, however, itself an epic climb and one of the two top climbs in Sonoma County https://pjammcycling.com/climb/383.Bald%20Mountain.
I will be biking over to Larkspur or San Rafael, meeting at 8:15, rolling by 8:25 at the Bay Trail at Buchanan. SMART train leaves Larkspur at 9:30. Please do sign up or contact me if you want to ride out to San Rafael. Otherwise, you can start in Santa Rosa-route is based on starting and finishing in Santa Rosa. Meeting time for that will be 10:40 at the SMART station, with rollout at 11.
Route map based on start/end in the same place; it's 47 miles ending at Cotati SMART station: https://www.strava.com/routes/2954659993466010298. Train leaves Cotati at 4:44 PM.
Regroup at the top and bottom of each climb. Pace I expect will be about 14-17 mph on flats depending on who shows up. We should have enough time to make it to grab food before taking the train back to San Rafael, otherwise we can get food in San Rafael (if taking the train).
