Chantry Flats and Altadena. Who's up for it?
07.11.09
When: Saturday July 11th
Meet @ 7:30am
Ride @ 8:00am
Where: Starbucks on Valley Blvd and Almansor St in Alhambra.
810 E Valley Blvd, Alhambra, CA
This ride will consist of 3 climbs.
One big(chantry flats), one medium(Altadena), and one small(first 3 miles of Fair Oaks).
It's roughly 52miles from start to finish with 3000 ft of total elevation gain.
It's not a die hard route, but it's not a coaster either.
The pace will be around 18~20mph on flats.
We will wait for everyone at every turn. No one will be left behind.
Although we'll regroup often and I've made the route as easy to follow as possible,
please take a look at the map and run through the directions so you won't be completely lost during the ride. There are a couple of sections in the direction that seems bit confusing, but on the ride it's pretty straightforward.
Be prepared and bring tubes, cash, water (you'll need two bottles), bars, patches, pumps (air, co2), electrolytes, and anything else I might have missed.
I will have route slips.
