West Hills Clambathon!

This ride has been canceled!

Description

Oh man, I can feel the burn already! This ride starts in the Bethany area and heads into the west hills. We go on Skyline Blvd to Newberry Rd, descend to the bottom, turn around, and climb back up. Then, descend McNamee and climb back up. Lastly, we climb Rock Creek Rd to Skyline, enjoy a wonderful descent while returning to the car. There are four solid climbs. The ride goes through some beautiful landscapes. I always have fun on this ride. Most of these roads are shaded.

The Sunday series features a specific ride on a designated Sunday of each month. The 2025 Sunday series is planned to run until the end of October and will likely be extended. The West Hills Climbathon ride is held on the 2nd Sunday of each month; therefore, this ride will occur on the 2nd Sunday of every month during the series.

Rides leave at the posted time, so arrive early enough to be ready. Rides may commence in cold and wet weather; however, they will be canceled if conditions are deemed unsafe or excessively unpleasant. Please check the ride status on the calendar within two hours of the scheduled start time. Come with a sense of adventure and self-reliance. You are expected to bring what you need to fix a flat and keep yourself on track. Bring food, water, and the appropriate kit. Print and bring the PDF directions if you don't use GPS. Please note that this is a non-group ride, allowing participants to ride at their own pace.
