Greetings Velo Club Members!

Amazingly 2025 is almost upon us. We will once again celebrate New Year's Day with a ride up to Cahoon Summit. For those not quite up for Cahoon, or for non-riding partners, there will be an option to hike/walk the trails in the area of Garland Park known as the Dampiere Addition, close to Carmel Valley Village.

Riders should gather New Year's Day near the Running Iron in Carmel Valley Village for an 8:30 am departure.  We’ll climb 18 miles to Cahoon summit and toast the New Year together with a little Champagne before returning. There is always the option to do the Cachagua Loop for additional miles and climbing.

For those of you interested in the hike, please meet at 8:30 am at the home of Bill & Robin Harness, 21 Esquiline Road, Carmel Valley. 

A link to the Garland Park map is provided below for planning of hike/walk.

Immediately following the ride/hike, please join us at Bill and Robin's house for some refreshments and good cheer. If you plan to stop by please RSVP directly to Robin via tex or call to 831-236-4994, or by email—rgharness1@gmail.com so they have an idea of how many to expect.
