Registration Options











We’re aiming for the lesser of two evils this February; with luck we will avoid at least one of them! Our route will remain only generally planned until quite near the 7th; local weather will play a significant role in the final route. In general though, expect our first significant encounter with sand for this ride series. And expect curvy terrain in low (and possibly high) mountains. And expect a little desert riding. Possibly. And a little bit of easy, hilly single-track. And… anything else I find in the fridge…

For those of you who cringe in fear at the mention of sand, take note:
1) There won’t be that much;
2) If there have been recent rains, it should be well consolidated;
3) The EarthRider Skilzdrill “Sand Is Not My Foe” [DSS 03] is scheduled for 01/31/09;
4) If you live through that (and ’08 ADR 05), you have DSS 07 (“My Friend Sand”) to look forward to!
Speaking of the fridge, lunch will take place out in the boonies, as usual: Pack your own, or choose from this menu of pre-packed gourmet lunch options provided by Main Course California:

Grilled Vegetable Sandwich
Grilled Seasonal Vegetables, hummus & chimichurri Sauce on Baguette
~or ~
BLTA
Bacon, lettuce, sun dried tomato & avocado with herbed mayo on Baguette
~or ~
Roasted Turkey
House Roasted Turkey, red onion marmalade, arugula & roasted red peppers with herbed mayo on Baguette
~or ~
Curry Chicken
Curry Chicken Salad & lettuce on Baguette

~All options include Chef Rachel's homemade energy bar & farmer's market apple~

Please make your preference known when you register.

Huzzah! Another best-laid plan "gang agley" yet survived all the same.
