Thursday Ride; 8 AM start

Chantry Flat FCC - 25 miles

Ride Rating: advanced for climbing

Start: Lacy Park, San Marino

Ride Description: A beautiful 25 mile ride to Chantry Flat Rec Area. The ride starts from Lacy Park in San Marino. We traverse through San Marino and Arcadia. There is a mild climb up Highland Oaks Drive to warm-up the legs. The first regroup is at the Arno Drive cul-de-sac near the entry gate to Chantry Flat Road. From there it's a short but challenging 3-mile climb (up to 10+% peak) to the pack station and a bit steeper if you go all the way to the helipad (12% peak). Then it's time to rest and take in the wooded scenery, maybe even grab a bite at the rustic Adams Pack Station. Afterwards, there is a breath-taking descent.
