We parked at the baseball fields on west side of town. 12 cyclists total. Ten cyclists rode a shortened route with 31.5 miles and 2800+ feet of climbing. Two cyclists rode the whole 39 mile route. We stopped halfway for a snack stop at the top of the ridge.

Temps started in the low 30’s and only warmed up to low 40’s with overcast skies for the whole ride. Gravel was mushy in some sections and smooth and fast in many sections. Some dogs outside yelling at us, but no road interactions. We stopped at Shark Rock for a photo opportunity.
