Saturday Challenge Ride 3-6-2010 - Ideas

Postby lisa on Tue Mar 02, 2010 1:19 pm

Hey Gang...any ideas for a Saturday Challenge Ride this weekend? I'm thinking about one of the following:

    M Resort to Jean --or Whole Foods to Jean which is a little further but also a little more traffic to dodge.

    Potosi Climb - Albertsons on Desert Foothills to Potosi and back

    Town Center Starbucks to Indian Paiute Resort and Back
Anyone else like any of these ideas? Or perhaps you have a different idea? Let me know!

Thanks!!
Lisa

p.s. Don't forget about the cake ride 40 miler this Sunday that rides into Red Rock's Calico Basin after climbing Villa Ridge!

Love the Ideas!

but personally, If im riding Villa Ridge on Sunday for the cake ride, I will pass on Mt. Potosi option, (yes, Im weak like that)
M resport to Jean (or Whole foods to Jean) would be a fun ride too! but yes a little more traffic to dodge. but same with Pauite resort (95 freeway)

My vote is M resort (or Whole Foods) to Jean on this one.

Thanks Lisa!

Pending what the weather does, going out to Jean again would be a good ride. At this point I think I can make whatever we agree on.

I won't be able to make it with you guys. I'll be entertaining this weekend. (The gerund, not the adjective.)

mmm. I love that Jean ride, did it about 20 times last year. But I'm headed out to Death Valley for some riding this weekend. 77 and sunny. Hello!
