Default Blackstar - Skyline, Sat. 1/19 @ 8am

Where - Blackstar - Skyline - Blackstar
When - Sat. 8am, meet at the Tree farm parking area @ Blackstar
Why - Fun training ride for CC. We'll be going at a moderate pace.

Here's the route on Geoladders:
http://www.geoladders.com/show_route.php?route=131

Original proposed route, but it's closed
http://www.geoladders.com/show_route.php?route=11118

Anyone interested?

Edit because of closure

Not exactly joining for this ride, but a couple others and I are planning on rolling around 8am to do Blackstar to Eagle & back. Don't think I/we are quite up to adding Skyline on yet, but that's in the near future. See you out there.

So where do I click to add a "sort of" reply?

bevaaler [01-18-2008 12:19 AM] - looks like a nice loop, do you descend Skyline or Eagle TT??

Decend Eagle TT and climb Skyline. Hope to see you out there.

Change of plans, I just called the Forest Service and they informed me we cannot exit out Eagle Rd. It's closed at the bottom due to private land, so.....how about Blackstar to Beeks down Skyline and come back. Anyone that wants more can go to Sierra Peak.

Here's the route:
