Our February ride, Sand Without Snow, an attempt to avoid mud caused by recent rains, turned into Sand, Mud, Rain, Fog, Sleet, Hail, Huge Puddles, AND Snow (check out the photos in VCARS In Words & Pictures, below).

"Do-over! I call, Do-over!"

We'll try that one again, for March, pushing back our other planned rides. Early spring will be a great time for taking in the spectacular views offered along this route - in dryer conditions. Expect a sandy section - complete with go-around - a little easy single track, and incredible views from many miles of high mountain fire roads.

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:

Ham & Cheese Croissant
Thick-sliced ham, dijon mustard & Swiss
~or ~
BLTA
Apple-wood smoked bacon, local lettuce, sun dried tomatoes & avocado with herbed mayo on a baguette
~or ~
Roasted Turkey Sandwich
House Roasted Turkey, roasted red peppers, red onion marmalade & arugula with herbed mayo on a baguette
~or ~
Grilled Veggie
Balsamic grilled portobello, eggplant, red onion, red pepers & butternut squash with from-scratch hummus & chimichuri

~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.
['10 ADR 03/13 - R2 (became, oh, R8 due to mud... and stubbornness!)]
