Palm Springs: 44 or 73 Miles Hosted by Desert Roadrunners
February 5, 2023
@ 7:30 am - 5:00 pm
White Water w/ Extension
44 or 73 Miles, Steep Hills with Long Climbs (Additional Details Below)
Ride ID 2633
Meet: 7:30 AM
Ride-Out: 8:00 AM
Rain Cancels
We’ll meet at Townie at 7:30, ride out at 8. This is not a joint ride with the Trudging Buddies…..that’s been moved to March. This route takes us out to the top of White Water canyon. There are water and bathrooms, but no food, so please take food/snacks with you!! After a turn at the top and a quick downhill back into town, our route takes us down the CV Link: R on Dinah Shore for those doing 44, L on Dinah if you’re doing the 29 mile extension (for those looking for miles to prepare for Tour de Palm Springs on 2-11-23). GPX is for FULL route, so know when to turn right for the short route! The extension loop to Palm Desert is relatively flat.
GPS file available on Roadrunner Facebook page (must be member)
All skill levels are welcome! If any ride is too much, we will work with you on making sure you have alternatives to the entire route. You will have a great bike ride. That’s a win! And remember, safety is critical. We will be following all bicycling laws and regulations as well as COVID regulations.!
Reach out with any of your questions or concerns. You really can do this.
