There is a lot of history on this ride. Many of you probably already know something about Route 99, and some of you who grew up in the West San Fernando Valley are probably familiar with the Knapp family.
I will have a more to say about that in the coming days but I did not want to delay posting this so you can put the ride on your calendar sooner.
🚵Ride will be 24.5 miles with 2,925 feet total ascent. About 13 miles are on paved or asphalt roads with the rest on dirt road — no single tracks.
Other historical sites we will visit include:
- Sandburg’s Summit Hotel
- Tumble Inn
- The Gillette Mine
Stay tuned for more details!
