2008-12/20 - '08 Adventure Day Ride 03 - Intro

ROMERO-CAMUESA

What When Where To Register Registration Fee Lunch (optional) 08ADR 03 Pages Dualsport Ride, full day Meet Saturday, 20 Dec, 7:30 AM Meet @ BMW Motorcycles of Ventura County email EarthRider $25.00 $13.00 [ADR 03 Intro] [ADR 03 Roster] [ADR 03 Recap] Choose Lunch Option: Turkey $38.00 Veggie $38.00 Beef $38.00 I'll make my own. $25.00

Expect a water crossing or two...

ADR 03 is an out-and-back route in the Los Padres. We will cover some terrific paved Santa Barbara area back roads on the way to our destination. Steep tree-crowded grades await us; twisted one-lane hill routes and sections made up more of pothole than pavement – and that’s before we even hit the dirt!

ADR 02 / ADR 03 Comparison: On ADR 02 we encountered a short section of steep, loose terrain: Expect a similar, slightly steeper, encounter on ADR 03. Riders will also have the option of introducing themselves to single-track riding on a short out-and-back run, later in the day. Remember, this series is all about helping you become a better rider, gradually. If you have questions about how to meet any of a ride’s challenges, the ride leader is eager to help you out.

We will be out in the sticks for lunch again. You can pack your own, or choose one of the gourmet sandwich options below, provided by Main Course California:

House Roasted Turkey Sandwich with Red Onion Marmalade, Arugula, & Roasted Peppers

-or-
MCC Philly – Grass Fed Beef with Roasted Peppers & onions, Chimichurri & Cheese
-or-
Grilled Veggie Sandwich – Grilled Seasonal Vegetables, Chimichurri & Hummus

A side of Pita Chips & Hummus is included with any sandwich,
as well as gourmet trail mix for snack time.

Please make your preference known when you register.

Great views at the end of the single-track section.
