May 21 St. Ride
A trailered ride led by Chuck and Pam Wood. Trailering to Clifford Wise’s land where the cellular tower on US 191 a couple of miles south of Nelson Reservoir is located. The ride will begin at 9 am. From Clifford Wise’s property, our staging location, we will ride toward Loco Knoll and the northeast side of the Escudilla mountain. The ride distance will be approximately 42 miles. The route does have areas that are rocky and there are a few technical areas (off-camper, steep, narrow and high clearance segments) that make this a moderate to advanced skill level ride.
riders should dress in layers (normal for our spring weather), and bring lunch, snacks and drinks. We expect a return to Clifford’s around 3:00PM Please RSVP to cewoodretired@fastem.com or 928-242-343- if you will be there.
