Here's some preliminary info on a 6-day September tour in the Sierra

Nevada Mountains: (Dang! I can't go...due to playing piano at a weeding!)

 Yes, the dates are set: We meet Labor Day Sept 5th in

Columbia

and ride the 6th through the 11th back to Columbia. First

day is leisurely and an exploring day from Columbia to

Dardanelle. Then over Sonora and Monitor Passes to Grover

Hot Springs with a couple of longer and looong options. The

third day is a lay over day at GHS with options. The fourth

day we eventually climb Old Meyers Grade through Echo Summit

and make our way to Silver Lake (back on Hwy 88) maximizing

our time at the higher elevations. The next day we descend

to Indian Grinding Rock State Park with some longer options

around Sutter Creek. And on the final day we traverse at

least part of Sheep Ranch Rd. to get back to Columbia.





Price, due to the rather low number of (quality) riders

expected is pegged at $425.



Our cook, Sarah Auker, has been said to "redefine taste and

nutrition", so there is a damn good chance that you will not

be disappointed in the dinners.



Hence, "Supper Tour"!



The mileages are rather mild, in the most part, although

there will be chances to add on. But lots of good, stiff

climbing!
