The Santa Clarita Velo USCF 2702, chartered in 1991, is a non-profit club whose goal is to promote all types of bicycling in the Santa Clarita Valley.

Mt Pinos Road Ride - rescheduled (due to rain forecast) to Saturday Oct 11th.
The ride is open to everyone. The ride starts at Flying J, elevation 3850', just off the 5 fwy on Frazier Park Mtn Rd. You can ride as easy or hard as you would like. There will be a water stop on the way up & food & beverage served at the top, elevation 8400'.
 
Parking: Park at the Flying J in the North East row (see Flying J pic). Flying J is off Interstate 5 at the Frazier Park Mtn Rd exit. It is only 38 miles from Magic Mtn Parkway
 

Ride Time: 9:00 A.M.

The Ride: A 44 mile round trip ride that climbs from 3850 ft to 8400 ft. Starts at Flying J starting with a gradual 1000' climb to Frazier Park & kicks up the last ¼-mile. The road continues 2 miles with a very slight 300' climb to Lake of the Woods where there will be a water stop. The road kicks up for about ½-mile to the picturesque Cuddy Valley.

Cuddy Valley road takes you to the base, 5800', of the Pine Tree covered Mt Pinos, and this is where the fun begins.

The road twists & turns for 10 miles around the mountain. This very scenic road never gets steep, is surrounded by large pines, and blanketed with clean blue skies. The road tops out at 8400’.

At the Top: Socialize; there will be food & beverage for everyone. I will also have a bunch of jackets & sweatshirts in case it is cool. The ride back is 90% downhill.

(Extras): For those of you that want to ride longer, there are multiple opportunities in the area.  You can ride to Pine Mtn Club & climb to Mt Abel 8200’, or ride out Lockwood Valley Rd with several climbs, or add Frazier Mtn for a 2 mile climb to the campground. Or you can ride home!! 

Hope to see you there. I will be riding with the group!!
