Let's roll from sun up to sun down to celebrate the beginning of Winter. This is the 5th annual! For summer solstice where we ride all night on the shortest night of the year. This ride is the inverse: ride all day on the shortest day. Route info: 50 miles, 3k feet of climbing. Route is mostly paved, but expect slippery and uneven surfaces, including stairs. Furthest tilt away from the sun: 7:03am Depart: 7:30am Sunrise: 7:47am Coffee: Fehrenbacher Hof, leaving promptly at 9am Be ready for winter weather. This is a long format ride. Come prepared with rain gear, layers, lights, snacks & water. Ride will include at least one store stop. Ride will end at a warm establishment for drinks/food. Solstice/Equinox rides aim to be challenging/adventurous and aim to test gear, rider endurance and seasonal resilience. Prepare your bikes for the upcoming season. Expect the route to contain "funny business," i.e. trail/gravel, exploration of areas that may not generally considered bike routes, and potential hike-a-bike sections. No drop mentality, the group will stop for mechanicals etc. However, please be prepared to ride at around 12-15mph to keep up. Contact: 7one4 6two3 43two4 for Mr. Friday @linusunitan for Linus
