Here are the Elite rides for Saturdays in July. We’re going to start a little earlier this month to avoid a bit of the mid-day sun. Watch this site early on the Saturday of the ride for weather related cancelations and updates.
Happy 4th of July – We’ll start with Team Bubba from BubOne’s house on Burnt Mill Rd at 8:30 am. We’re going out and back on Cash Canyon Road as the first leg of our ride, and they’re starting with a climb up Raccoon Mountain. Our ride will split at the bottom of Elder Mountain and continue on up Elder for those wanting to do the long ride. See the Team Bubba post for more info on the festivities at Bub’s.

July 18 – Sam-I-Am is hosting a lake party for Bubba at his in-laws (3922 Windward Lane ) in Sale Creek. Elites will roll with Team Bubba at 9 am and follow their route until we get to Leggett where we’ll head down the mountain. We can park on the streets around the party house — but no parking in the cul-de-sac or near driveways so that we don’t block anybody in. The Team Bubba post this week will provide details of the planned festivities.
37 miles and 3,000 feet of climbing. Mountain climb on Brayton Mtn Road.
