Ride Title: Wrights Lake Road and Union Valley Reservoir Loop
Depart Time: 9 am
Meeting Place: Dirt Pullout on right side of Wrights Lake road, just a couple hundred feet off of Highway 50. https://goo.gl/maps/JeW2iZWqfojGtooN8
Ride Leader: Chris Cherrix ((928) 600-1097)
Email: nuckledragger@hotmail.com
Type of Ride: Road
Mileage: 62 / 7000'
Amount of Climbing:
Pace: Medium
Terrain: Hard
Description: Since Jennie's group had such a fun time on this route last month, I thought we'd do it again, instead riding a clockwise loop around Union Valley Reservoir. We'll ride up Wright's Lake road for 6 miles before turning onto (mostly) quiet forest service roads, passing Ice House Reservoir before looping around Union Valley Reservoir. New, freshly paved bike paths connecting the campgrounds on the east side of the reservoir will make for a pleasant tour around the lake. Water and restrooms should be available at several points along the ride (miles 13, 28, 43 and 49). Near the end of the tour, we'll have the option of riding up to Wright's Lake and back (4 miles total).
Those wishing to avoid the 1300' climb over the first six miles can meet us at the intersection of Wright's Lake Road and FS 32.

Description: Join us this Sunday, September 22nd and test yourself on a couple of high alpine passes. This ride isn't going to be easy, but it will be rewarding! It is a beautiful road ride with stunning views.
Our plan is to ride Ebbetts Pass to Hermit Valley and beyond if motivated. We will start at the government offices in Markleeville, ride on highway 4 towards Ebbetts Pass, and then climb the road out and back. We will finish back at the government offices. SAG van support vehicle will post up on top of Ebbetts with a full service rest stop (aside from a restroom). The van will meet us back at the cars with the rest of the supplies.
This is an advanced road bike ride.
Ride Description: There are many options to this ride. It has breathtaking views! The road can be narrow and pretty steep in spots. There are a few blind corners. The traffic however, is limited. We will exercise caution on our way up and down.
Option 1: Summit Ebbetts Pass and ride back down. About 25 miles and roughly 3k of elevation gain.
Option 2: Summit Ebbetts Pass and continue to Hermit Valley, then turnaround. About 45 miles and roughly 5k of elevation gain.
Option 3: Summit Ebbetts Pass, drop down to Hermit Valley, and summit Pacific Grade approximately 50 miles and roughly 6k of elevation gain.
You are welcome to just ride as far as you want and turn around at any point.
