White Water to Indio
88 Miles, Steep Hills with Long Climbs
Ride ID 2695
Meet: 6:00 AM
Ride-Out: 6:30 AM
Rain Cancels
In our final big ride of the season, we’ll meet at Townie at 6 am, ride out at 6:30. Expect hot temps so arrive fed and hydrated with 2 full bottles of ice & electrolytes. We’ll head out the north end of town to climb White Water canyon. We’ll have a roadie at the top of the canyon with ice/water/snacks. The route brings us back into PS, then continues on down valley to Indio. On our return, you’ll have more climbing opportunities with Frank Sinatra, Cathedral Canyon Cove & Bogart. There are at least 5 ways to shorten this route or do less climbing. Everyone is ready to tackle ALC, so this ride is icing on the cake. If temps get too hot near the end of the route, turn around and go home!
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.!
