_________________________
There will be a casual club ride on Saturday, October 25th, weather permitting, starting at Benton Hot Springs. This ride is something different for Eastside Velo. It’s a chance to simply go for a group ride late in October, to stay for a BBQ and a soak afterward, or to possibly camp overnight as well.

The ride will start at 10.30am and finish around 1.30pm, followed by a barbecue, beers and mandatory hot tub soaking. There will be a cost of $10.00 per person for all those using the hot tubs and/or camping.

The campsites, including hot tubs, will be reserved for the club from 2pm on Saturday until 11.00am on Sunday. Those who wish to stay overnight will need to bring their own camping gear. The club will provide beverages. Each person will bring their own barbecue food; ice chests will be available at the start of the ride to leave food in. Once we know how many people are coming we will designate salads, starters and desserts alphabetically (similar to the Pie ride). People staying overnight will be responsible for their own breakfast food.

The ride will be an out-and-back from the hot springs to Wildrose, which is approx. 25 miles including some climbing, or to the top of Waterson, a 40 mile ride. There will be a support station at the top of Wildrose.

Please RSVP to Jan at: janhornby@schat.net by October 20th as we need to reserve enough campsites. We will notify you by e-mail on Friday the 24th if the event will be cancelled due to weather. If you do not feel like riding and would like to come out for the social afternoon and evening please also RSVP.

Directions to Benton Hot Springs from Mammoth: South on 395 turn Left at the Green Church which is the Benton Crossing road, follow this to Hwy 120, turn right here toward Benton. The Hot Springs is about 7miles on the left. We will meet at the campground behind the Bed and Breakfast Inn. Call Scott and Jan Busby at 387-2807, or email janhornby@schat.net if you have any questions. Hope to see you there.
