 RIDEWITHGPS    Strava          Route Peet’s Start to Mountain WInery

This is a great route that’s the clockwise variation of a common route. This features the exhilarating rollicking, rolling descent from Castle Rock to Bear Creek. Just remember to stay well to the right on the blind single lane corners. If a car comes around here  and you’re in the middle of the road, that’d be bad.

This ride was done before in January 2015, and took 3:45 min moving time, maybe 4:15 total time. Figure back by 1 PM if all goes well.  

 As Bear Creek makes a T on Highway 9, take a left into town to Boulder Creek American Gas. Returning on Highway 9 at Skyline, there ought to be slower and faster element regroups.

Big climbs spell separation.  The main group should wait a decent interval at Hwy 9/Skyline, and subsequent stops.  Riders finding the main group’s moved on, should form an element and press on.  Maybe to catch up at Boulder Creek.
