Palm Springs: 34 Miles Hosted by Desert Roadrunners

October 22, 2023 @ 7:00 am - 5:00 pm

Rain Cancels

 

We’ll meet at Townie at 7 am, ride out at 7:30. This week we’re running across the wash for a little DHS cycling. We’ll take Indian Canyon north out of PS up to Pierson in DHS. We’ll grab coffee at Starbucks in DHS before climbing 2 Bunch Palms, then long downhills on Mountain View to Varner (careful of ruts/gravel), over to Date, across Vista Chino to the CVLink, then down through Dinah Shore/Mesquite thru Demuth Park back to Townie. This is a GREAT exposure to hills for beginners………a very long, slow easy climb on Indian and a short, blood pumper on 2 Bunch. Let’s see some newbies out there!!

All skill levels are welcome! If any ride is too much, we will work with you on making sure you have alternatives to the entire route. You will have a great bike ride. That’s a win! And remember, safety is critical. We will be following all bicycling laws and regulations as well as COVID regulations.!

GPS/TCX files available here or on the Roadrunner FB or Strava pages (members only).
