I'll be doing my normal Thursday ride on Tuesday or Wednesday night this week. We can throw in another loop of Toad's and Iron Tread if time permits. Start at 6:00 p.m. on the east edge of MTRP, where the fire road comes over from the equestrian center parking lot. PM or post if you're interested for either night; I have no preference for Tuesday or Wednesday -- I'll probably go both nights.

Can't ride tomorrow (Tues). Wed is a possibility before the sdmba meeting, but we'd have to start probably at 5pm and be back at the cars by 6:40 to make it to the meeting for 7

I can't start that early, but if we rode from the Visitor's Center at 5:30 and did the west side of the park (e-ticket; suycott; s-curves; etc.) you could still get in a decent ride before the meeting.

I think we're going to meet at 430. Sorry Eric if that cuts you out. My boss is out of town this week so this will be one of few times I can cut work early to go ride!

No problem -- I'd do the same thing if I were you. Spring and Oak are way more fun than MTRP proper, and you have to take advantage of an opportunity to leave work early. Have fun.

I can't speak for the 4:30 p.m. ride, but my ride is ~10 miles to ~13 miles, depending on whether we do an extra pass down Toad's and up Iron Tread. Pace is whatever works for the slowest rider. I like to break a sweat, but these rides are definitely not "race pace".

Start at 6:00 p.m. tonight on the east edge of MTRP, where the fire road comes over from the equestrian center parking lot. Stop when the fire road hits the big open area, aka "The Grasslands, and I'll meet you there.

The equestrian center parking lot is the lot just off of the Mast Blvd. off-ramp from the 52. Park on the paved road past the first gate, but before the second gate, and ride the fire road over to the location mentioned above. I'll pm you my cell no. in case you get lost/are running late and need to call.
