RUSSIAN RIVER TRIP – DAY 3 OPTION A – 2.5 MILE RIVER TUBE FLOAT

This is day 3 option (A) of a 4 day trip to Guerneville on the Russian River near Santa Rosa. Guerneville is known for its natural environment and proximity to wine-tasting and redwood forests. Make sure you sign on to the events you want to attend. Four of our events (June 3,4,5) will start in Guerneville. Of those four, three will be bike rides on narrow secluded paved back roads through redwood forested hills for the most part. One of the events will be a 2.5 mile inner tube float down The Russian River. (If relaxing on the Russian River isn’t your thing, I have a bike loop route you can do instead on your own or with others that might choose to do so.) The one remote ride on June 2nd will take place 1.5 hours south of Guerneville on a narrow paved road starting basically at sea level and winding all the way to the top of Mount Tamalpais (Mt. Tam).

Make sure you bring along your bike battery, battery key and charger as well as a spare inner tube or slime.

DAY 3 OPTION A – RIVER FLOAT DOWN THE RUSSIAN RIVER
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You’ll need to pay for a rental (river tube, stand-up paddle board, single or double kayak). The Russian River Tubes & Kayaks, in Guernieville has the inner tube that some of us are buying at Big 5 Sporting Goods. Make sure it’s made by Intex like the rentals since I will be able to inflate that brand quickly at our final meetup location.
