PLANET
ULTRA
CLUB CHRISTMAS CENTURY
CANCELLED DUE TO
HIGH WIND WARNINGS!!!
This
ride is a semi-supported, social "Club Ride" with one leapfrog support
vehicle providing water and snacks at
two locations along the course (with specific closing times). Our driver will not have a car
equipped to carry bikes. Riders are expected to be
self-sufficient.
There will be no SAG vehicle. If you can't finish the ride, you'll have to find your own way back!
This time of year the sun goes down around 5pm. That means you'll
have to ride 100 miles with about 5,800'
of climbing in under 9 hours. Since there's no SAG, please consider
the time constraints before taking this on!
Meet at 7:30am and start the ride at 8:00am!
Please RSVP:
Reservations will be accepted from
November 1 through December 1, by filling out
this online form.
We need at least 40 people to make this happen. Will send an
email to all registered riders Thursday before the ride confirming
or canceling.

Moorpark, Camarillo, Malibu and back. For those of you who know the
area, the main climbs are Potrero, Encinal and rollers on Mulholland.
