66 miles, 2100′ of climbing. Meet at Townie Bagels at 7:30 am PT, ride out at 8. It’s time to take on the far end of Dillon. We’ll head north to Vista Chino, across Cat City and down Varner to Pit 1. From Varner, we’ll pick up Ramon out to 1000 Palm Canyon and climb! At the top, we’ll continue east on Dillon to a long 5 mile downhill into Indio. After Pit 2, we’ll stair step our way NW back across the valley to the start, with Pit 3 along the way. There’s a 46 mile option on this route that avoids the hill.
