Bigfoot Bicycle Club

When:  Sunday, June 3

Where:  Forks of Salmon 8:00 AM

Distance: 100 miles

Climbing: 10,000

The Salmon River Loop is a beautiful low traffic century in Siskiyou county.  It offers spectacular mountain scenery.  We will complete the ride in a clockwise direction starting at the Forks of Salmon Post Office. This is an easier way since you hit the toughest climb on Etna Pass first. We will be stopping at the Etna Brewery  for lunch.  We will then complete the loop tackling the second climb of the day.  If we get enough interest we will have a sag wagon.

Camping Details:  You are invited to a BBQ and campout Saturday night at a private campground in Somes Bar.  The club is providing the main dish for the BBQ and everyone else will bring a side dish for a potluck dinner.  We will drive to Forks of Salmon Post Office on Sunday morning where we will start the ride.

Here is a link to our first annual ride with ride details from my BLOG 

The ride is just as hard as the TUC so if you completed the TUC this year you will have no problem.  We are not racing but riding at a social pace.  Last year it took Errin Odell and I about 7 hours of ride time to complete the loop with another hour stop for lunch.

PLEASE RSVP to Jim Robbins, jimbobrides at suddenlink dot net so we know who to expect and can arrange carpooling.

In our P.O. box we received a flier for the Mendocino Monster Century Bike Ride in early June. This link takes you to their website for more details.
