Honestly, I'd be down to throw in stage coach next time. Maybe start at Russel Rd, come down, go up clementine do the loop then back up stagecoach? I dunno. Or just start where we did, then at the end of the rid go up stage coach and back down.

Maybe a Saturday or Sunday in the near future? Say, weekend of 5/20? It will be a 20+ miler. Maybe we could start REAL early to try and beat some of the heat. We could all bring a lunch for a halfway point along the trail.

We could all bring a lunch for a halfway point along the trail.Maybe we should try that this year? Any takers? There are a few seriously awesome trails out in Sequoia National Forest (~1 hour east of Fresno) with some really nice campgrounds near the trailheads.

I've got a ride we can do. It'll be a biggie though.
Clementine -> connector -> Foresthill Divide -> connector -> fuel break -> culvert -> confluence trail
It's about 25 miles, mostly single track, some definite climbing. I know after riding the clementine -> fuel break -> culvert -> confluence loop the other day, I felt like I could go a lot more. The last half of the clementine loop (confluence trail) is technical but downhill so it's an easy ride as far as pedal power goes.
What do you guys think? We'd have to start that one EARLY to avoid spontaneously combusting out on the trails and I'd be down for a shady mid ride lunch/brunch with sandwiches or something (beer too?). It's supposed to be hot during the early part of this week, but weather.com is showing 70s for Saturday 
! If we're gonna do this ride, this weekend looks perfect as far as weather goes.
Any takers?

Mike, let me know how softball pans out. Josey wants to go bike riding with me on Sunday and she'll probably just want it to be us for now, so I'm probably out for a big ride or group ride Sunday.

I failed to notice on the prarie city racing schedule that no race is held tomorrow Mike, Clementine tomorrow afternoon, maybe with a little stagecoach thrown in for good measure?
