IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
We consider Sycamore Canyon an intermediate ride with some technical downhill areas on the descent to Martha’s Grove and two climbs: one before the downhill to Martha’s and another at the end of the ride which takes us back to the parking area. We will be doing a 2-mile warm up ride on the “top of the hill” loop before we start the actual Sycamore loop. Overall we will be riding about 12 miles, and we expect the ride to take about 2-1/2 hours.
