Palm Springs: 50 Miles Hosted by Desert Roadrunners
February 9
@ 7:30 am - 5:00 pm
74 the Portola Way
50 Miles, Long and steep hills
Meet: 7:30 AM
Ride-Out: 8:00 AM
Rain Cancels
50 miles, 1747′ of climbing. Meet at Koffi Central at 7:30 am PT, ride out at 8 am. We’re making our “recovery ride” on the schedule into a regular training ride that starts at Koffi Central. We’ll head up the west side of town, then all the way across to the north end of Cat City before stair-stepping our way down to Pit 1 at Technology Starbucks. Then, we’ll head south on Cook to climb 74 the “Portola way”. We’ll snack and U-turn at the top for a fast downhill into Pit 2 at Starbucks by Pieology. Out of the pit, we’ll head up Bob Hope and stair-step our way via Perez & Dinah Shore, through Demuth Park and back to the start. We’re halfway through the training season, so this half century should be a very do-able ride for all riders – if it isn’t, train more.
GPS available on team Strava & Facebook pages (members only)
