Fwd: Wednesday Dirt Hill Climb Ride, meet at Eben Fine Park at 5:30
Hey all,
I am going to do a little off-road climb on Wednesday afternoon. My plan is to head up 4 Mile Canyon to Logan Mill Road and climb to the top. This is a mixed-surface ride - 4 Mile Canyon is paved until the Logan Mill turnoff, and Logan Mill is a steeeeep fire road, with some close-to-needing-the-granny-gear sections, so it is probably not appropriate for road bikes, maybe possible on a cross bike with a triple. I will be riding a mountain bike. Total elevation is about 2200 vertical to the top from Eben Fine Park. I will be going up and turning around, as there is not enough time to drop down to Betasso and do a lap before dark, and Betasso is closed on Wednesdays anyway. For those desiring of more climbing, we can come back over Poor Man Road to Sunshine.
Pace will be moderate with numerous re-groups. (I have ridden approximately 6 times in the last 12 weeks, and I am slow going up and scared coming down, so the pace will truly be reasonable.) I will be leaving from the west end of Eben Fine Park at 5:30 on Wednesday. Total climb time is probably about 1:15, figure another 45 minutes back down. The weather is looking like typical rain in the afternoons, so if it is raining, I will not ride. Otherwise, come on out for some climbing.
