First, the link in the ride description was an old one and doesn’t work any more. I corrected it in the ride description this morning so if you copied the link from the ride description before then, you need to update it. Here are the correct RWGPS links:
Short: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/40843574
Long: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/53277820
Note that the two routes have different rest stops with the short route stopping at Pause Coffee in Loomis and the long route stopping at North Fork Chai in Newcastle. On the long route, if you want to stop at the new coffee place, Never Coffee (formerly Newcastle Produce), feel free to do so. Also, I’m OK if you want to cut off the loop down Rutherford Canyon either because of heat or traffic on Barton, feel free to turn left on Laird rather than right and then right on Cavitt Stallman which you then take all the way to Douglas. If you do so, please correct your mileage when you sign out since you will have shortened the route by a couple miles.
I’m aware that it’s going to be relatively hot tomorrow with a high near 100F. The temperature will only be ~75F at the ride start (8:30 am), but will get up to around 90F by noon. Despite the heat, I don’t plan to change the start time, but I will be at the ride start by 8:00 am, so you can sign in and start then if you want. I plan to only do the short route because of the heat, but I won’t start until 8:30. If you plan to do the long route be sure to have a buddy to ride with.
