Subject: BRAG - Oct 19 Ride - Killen Trail

Please join us for a BRAG / SCAB ride on Sunday, October 19th.  We will meet 
at Temecula Quaid at 8:30 for a ride briefing at 9:00 and onto the road.

Sparky has put together a great route for us.  Basically it makes a 
counter-clockwise loop through the Temecula Valley via Rancho California Rd, 
Railroad Canyon, Ortega, either Killen or Clinton Keith, Los Gatos, 
Carancho, Deluz and Rancho California back to Temecula Quaid.  Filomena, the 
sales manager at Temecula Quaid, will have cold drinks and raffle prizes 
waiting for us on our return.  Temecula Quaid opens at 10:00 AM on Sunday; 
take that into consideration so that you can arrive with an empty bladder 
and a full tank of gas.  The ride is about 100 miles in length.

The route is divided at the Lookout rest stop on Ortega Highway into an 
experienced level Adventure Route and an easy Killen Bypass Route.  The 
Experienced section is the Killen Trail, a 19 mile paved road which includes 
10 miles of one-lane, slow speed 1st through 3rd gear trek through the 
Cleveland Forest.  It starts out fairly normal and twisty for the first 9 
miles then gets twistier, narrower, and steeper.  The Easy (but still 
challenging) section goes back from the Lookout to Clinton Keith Rd and 
picks up the tail end of Killen when it gets out of the forest.

If you have any questions, email or call me.
