Troop 57 Spring Cycling Trip

Posted by asm_group on March 27th, 2008 filed in Outings, 2008 Spring

Join us on the T57 spring cycling trip April 19-20, 2008.  We will offer several mountain and road bike rides on Saturday & Sunday, ranging from beginner level to advanced, as well as opportunities to work on the non-riding portions of the bicycling merit badge.  Best of all, these rides are over some of the finest cycling terrain in the Bay Area.  For example, the 50-mile advanced Sunday road ride loop will take you though redwood forest, oak woodlands, open rolling coastal grasslands, up (and down!) some nice hills, and along the ocean on a stretch of Highway 1 (http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/ca/pescadero/251718022), while the 25-mile advanced Sunday mountain bike loop ride will start with a gradual climb of nearly 2000′ thought redwood & oak forest, punctuated by spectacular vistas of the ocean, followed by a rewarding downhill back to camp in Butano State Park (http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/ca/butano/176475940).  As far as equipment, you will need a bike (either road or mountain), helmet, water bottle(s), suitable clothes and camping/personal gear:  See flyer for details.
