FM II - Chino Hills

Plans are to have it on Sunday with the "50 milers" leaving at about 8:00 am, going out and doing a ~ 12 mile loop, meeting with the "LD ers" (approx 10:00 am) going out about 9 miles to "VC" (at which time the 50 milers will go from that point and do a 10 mile loop with a couple of big hills) and then going back to "base camp" either over hills or through the canyon, depending on the mood of the riders, ~9 - 12 miles.

 

Total mileage (except for me who will--depending on whether I ride over to base camp or trailer over--do an extra 15 miles) will be between 40 and 45 miles, with abbreviated rides of either 12 (first loop only), 20 miles (second and 4th legs only), 30 miles (second leg, third loop, and fourth leg), 32 miles (first loop and second and 4th legs) or 10 miles (trailer in to VC and do third loop--the one with the big hills).   For people who want to skip loop three, there will be someone to "lead" that group back so they don't have to wait for those that do loop three. 

 

Or you can meet me at my place at 7:00 am and do an extra 10 :)  (5 there and 5 back to your rig). 

 

Pace will be moderate, averaging between 6 and 8 mph.

 

Basecamp will be at Chino Hills State Park, at the Equestrian Staging Facility (enter from Soquel Canyon Road off of the 71 Expressway--detailed directions available to those that don't know how to get there).  There is camping available as well as horse corrals for anybody who wants to arrive the night before.

 

The "Vet Check" will be at Carbon Canyon Regional Park (all things going according to plan, we should get there at approx 11:00 for those that want to meet us there). I MAY be able to arrange to have lunch brought there (if I know how many people are coming and I can con somebody into doing it)
