Mixed Terrain ride Calendar
La Ruta Loca Randonnee (The original NorCal 200k Mixed Terrain self flagellation ordeal) was run July 19 2008, you can read about that experience here. This page feeds from a google calendar and shows only future events.
These are proposed dates for Mixed Terrain rides (paved/off road in one ride) that Start In San Francisco. Once the dates are final I will make a note in this page. The idea is to build up skills and endurance leading to a run of La Ruta Loca Randonnee (LRLR), a 200k Mixed Terrain epic ride scheduled for July 11th (2009).
The cue sheets I have created since 2005; yes I rode every inch and stopped at every turn to create accurate cue sheets:

Mixed Terrain 101
When: Saturday, July, 4th, 2009 at 8:00am
Where: Strauss Statue (GG Bridge)
Description: A good 50 miles of riding, 17 of them on fireroads, approximately 5900 feet of climbing. It sounds short but believe me it is not a ride in the park but it is not a grueling ride either, just right. This makes a great first Mixed Terrain ride for an accomplished "roadie".

La Ruta Loca Randonnee (LRLR)
When: Saturday, July, 11th, 2009 at 6:00am
Where: Marina Safeway Start (15 Marina Blvd, San Francisco)
Description: 2009 edition of the original NorCal Mixed terrain event, La Ruta Loca Randonnee! ~15000 ft. in 124 miles of fireroads and pavement. No cheating no excuses. This is NOT a race but a self flagellation ordeal. This is and epic ride in all the sense of the word, not a good ride to do if you have never done other Mixed Terrain rides however it is an excellent ride if you come with the right mindset and bicycle. 200k of joy if you like me value a good ride. Do the Bolinas Mixed Terrain Ride using the Traditional Mixed Terrain Ride, on the way back instead of climbing Camino Alto to get to Mill Valley, join the Mixed Terrain 101 route. About 15k feet elevation gain. It should keep you busy for the best part of a day and maybe some of the night, it may be a good idea to bring a light just in case. (Please note: This is NOT an official randonneuring event, just a harder than usual training ride)
