RE: [RC] Training for rides in Auburn area - Ranelle RubinIf you get to Cool, head back down the old Tevis trail (cross Hwy 49 @ the Quarry)..when you get to the river road turn right.(you will know you are there as it is clearly a dirt road and not a trail) Do not take any of the right hand turns before the road. Follow the road until you see a marked trail called Brown's Bar. Follow that trail uphill until you see the Robie trail sign on your right. You will know you are there as it is one steep %^*& trail..It is not as steep the rest of the way however. When you get to the top of that trail, take all the right hand turns until you get back to the original Tevis trail..If you want to join me one day, I will happily show you the way...

It gives him a fairly good workout, but I would like to 'up' his degree of trail difficulty to prepare him for more difficult terrain that may occur on some of the rides, as well as longer distances (I estimate the loop to be @ 16 miles). What sections of the Western States trail in that area have the most challenging terrain, and would it be a good idea to try these sections with someone who knows the trail the first time? Also, where can I get a detailed map of these sections?? Appreciate any help..... =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
