Hi Gang,
I should have named this A No Sweat Ride for multiple reasons. With only ~340 feet of gain for the 28 mile version and ~466 for the 36 mile version, there is no chance we are gonna work up any kind of sweat. And Surprise for June - the weather will be pretty much perfect so that eliminates heat as a possible cause.
Both routes are the same until about mile 15 when the long takes a loop out to some new developments and the Anatolia Kavala Ranch Trail and the short winds over to Starbucks. The 10 mile return is the same for both routes. We will be on the canal (where I believe most of our "climbing" will be 😄) for part of the ride but do not go through the tunnel.
See you in the morning - 8:30 start.
Kathy
