Our Next Trip - Moab, Utah
Pack Saddle Pass Ride
The Bicycle Cafe is had the Pack Saddle Pass Ride on Saturday, September 3, 2011. This ride was for SBC and by word of mouth to others and is a low key trial run for next year's "Prestissimo Sierra" ride which will be advertised in Cycle California. This year we will have a smaller, more intimate group, where as next year it will have a higher cost and a larger group.
In 2012, this ride will be on the Saturday following the Labor Day holiday. We have an approved permit with the Park Service for the weekend after Labor Day. Much has been involved with organizing this ride, and it will be an annual event. Our intentions have been to keep it small this year.
This ride is a 69.47 mile out and back ride with the starting elevation of 7,377 ft, a maximum elevation of 8,028 ft, and 7,464 gain. The lowest altitude is 4,990 ft.
For this year, the ride had a $25 per person fee which included parking, sag, and lunch; $40 fee included parking, sag, lunch, and a tee shirt (which was available after the ride date, we only purchased the number of shirts per rider that participated in this year's event).
