Ride north from the Inverness Trailhead to the Gulf Junction Trailhead and back
32 miles
Speed 10-12 mph.
Ride leader: John
There will be a large turnout, so the plan is to get our packets, meet at the caboose, and be ready to roll at 8 a.m.
We'll head north toward Gulf Junction at a casual pace and return to the Inverness Trailhead. Some will continue south of Inverness to add miles. At least one from our group is doing a century. In summary, we'll ride our own distance at our own pace and group together accordingly.
