Thanks for mapping and marking Essayons! I'm super flexible so let me know what you think about the info below.
1) Are all brands of bikes welcomed?
Yes!
2) Meeting time? Start time? Turn around point? Trip duration?
Meet: May 15, 2021 @ 8:30 AM Ride: 9:00 AM Trip Duration: Approximately 2.5 Hours, but there is potential to extend it a bit if riders want to avoid the highway portion. I will do a pre-ride and check out some other forest road possibilities. Diverting around the highway could add a half hour of forest road in each direction.
3) Can we make the meeting location the Mc Donalds west of the I-15 and Sierra Avenue? It will be easier to find for those that aren't from the area.
That would be perfect
4) Can we make the turn around point the intersection of Mariposa Road and Ranchero Road? At the location there is a Starbucks, Circle K, Fat Burger, Buffalo's Express, Chronic Tacos, Krispy Crunchy Chicken and a 76 gas station.
Also a great idea
5) Are all skill levels welcomed?
Absolutely! I consider myself a beginner and this is a pretty mellow ride.
