January 31st's Ascent of Loma Alta for lower school rippers
January 31st's Ascent of Loma Alta for lower school rippers
On Saturday, Januray 31st, we will meet at Sunshine Bikes at 10:00am and ride up to Loma Alta. From there, we will ride some single track as we work our way back to Sunshine.
This mostly intermediate level ride will give us a fun ride that has challenging sections and a long climb but is not more technically challenging than some of the trails that we include in our after school rides. Riding up this small mountain can be really fun but only if our riders come prepared. Please see the below list of gear and also pack a lunch for your rider.
Please go over your riders bike with them and address any mechanical issues that may cause problems on the trail. Also, please help your student pack all of their cycling gear including their helmet, bike gloves, a spare tube, lots of food and plenty of water. Also, I recommend a light wind beaker or rain jacket (when appropriate) that can be carried in a pocket. Light weight knee pads, elbow pads and protective eyewear are, also, recommended. For riders who are allergic to poison oak, a single use packet (or reusable small container) of Tecnu is another great thing to pack.
Thanks!
