DHS – Varner – Edom Hill
62 Miles Rolling hills and a few steep climbs
Meet: 7:30 AM
Ride-Out: 8:00 AM
Rain Cancels
62 miles, 2232′ of climbing. We’ll meet at Koffi North at 7:30 am, ride out at 8. After a quick hill warmup on Rose, we’ll head north up Indian Canyon to DHS. We’ll head east across Pierson, swing by Cabot’s Puelblo Museum before a long descent down Mountain View to Varner (rough road) and Edom (garbage hill – 11%). With our climbing done, we’ll hit a few Starbucks as we swing down around Palm Desert before returning back to PS via Cat City and the CVLink Extension Bike Path by the PS Surf Center. Edom can be skipped and there are other ways to shorten this ride. ALL team members need to be on their bikes every weekend as we enter the final 1/3 of our training season!
GPS available on team Strava & Facebook pages (members only)
All skill levels are welcome! If any ride is too much, we will work with you on making sure you have alternatives to the entire route. You will have a great bike ride. That’s a win! And remember, safety is critical. We will be following all bicycling laws and regulations as well as COVID regulations.!
