Introducing a New Weekly Thursday FCC Ride It's not often that the FCC introduces a new weekly ride and so we're excited to announce a Thursday Lacey Park (San Marino) to Chantry Flats ride. Richard Jue has volunteered to be the ride leader. Ride Description:  A beautiful 25 mile ride to the newly reopened 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 (6%-7% average incline) to the top; 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. Ride is rated advanced for climbing. Note that Chantry Flat is also a popular destination for backpacking so weekends are not advised because of traffic. Midw...

Attention FCC Members, We need a ride leader for this Saturday's ride. Please contact Brian Cox ( brian@coxintl.com ) if you have any questions. Otherwise if we do not have a leader by Thursday evening, we'll need to cancel the ride. Saturday Ride; 8AM start The Backyard Boat - 45 Miles Ride Rating : Intermediate for distance Start : Victory Park Ride Description :Fairly flat ride, with one climb, where you get to experience the glories of BURBANK.

We stop at Bob's Big Boy on the way back and then take Chevy Chase and into the Rose Bowl then back to Victory Park. -- ----------------------------------------------------   http://www.foothillcycle.org/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Foothill Cycling Club" group.
