12 cyclists. 38 miles. 3050 ft of climbing. Temps started in low 70’s and topped out in the upper 80’s and humidity was through the roof. Gravel was dry and fast except for one muddy section in Wildcat Hollow area. We stopped at Burr Oak entrance facility for a quick pit stop. We saw the remains of San Toy ghost town.
