The Dirty Climbing series Ride #2 is a tasty mixed surface ride with views, dirt roads, flowers, beaches and a walk through a horse stable! 40% of the ride is dirt and much of the rest is protected bike lane or slow streets! There is some single track and a few moderately technical sections (no shame in walking those). We will be stopping at the tops of big climbs and the bottoms of descents to regroup (i.e. for me to catch my breath). A bike with fatter tires is recommended for maximum fun, ie. an all-road/gravel/mountain bike with 38mm or anything wider. Tread is highly recommended as well! You can do this ride on narrower tires but you should be experienced at riding on dirt and gravel and not mind walking when needed.

Bring snacks and water. 

If there has been rain in the previous two days (i.e. the trails will likely be muddy) ride is cancelled.  If greater than 25% chance of rain, contact ride leader by 9:30 am the morning of for the go/no go.
