PAA Club Suported ride - Tour de Franco

Registration is Now Closed.

Join us on a beautiful coastal ride.  After leaving Franco Bikes the ride works it's way north and descends down into the fields of Camarillo and out to the coast, joining Highway 1 at Pt. Mugu.  Then we head south and make our way through some of the epic Santa Monica Mountain range. The ride includes two famous climbs, first the climb from Leo Carillo state beach and PCH up to Mulholland .  The second climb is Latigo Canyon... both will take you to the top of the mountain range before dropping back down for the ride over to the finish at Franco Bikes.  This is a 73 mile challenging course with a bail out option at mile 30 (for a total of 50 miles) where Mulholland intersects with the 23. 

There will be two SAG stops. One feed station on top of the Mulholland Climb and the second feed station at the first summit of the Latigo Climb. Lunch will be served at the end of the ride back at Franco Bikes.  

THERE WILL BE A LOT OF WATER (along with nutrition) on hand this year at both SAG stops to help keep everyone hydrated.
We welcome PAA members to invite friends, family or other guests along for this ride.  Keep in mind that this is a moderate to difficult ride, however the shorter route back after Mulholland makes it all very accessible.

We thank Hector Rodriguez for Franco Bicycles support of PAA and this ride.  They will be providing our ride leaders as they did last year.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Waiver, each Releasee may defend an Indemnified Claim with counsel of his or her own choosing and without the Participant’s involvement.  If a Releasee assumes control of the defense, the Participant shall reimburse the Releasee promptly and periodically for the costs incurred in defending against the Indemnified Claim (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), and shall remain responsible to such Releasees for any other Losses.  Participant shall give prompt written notice to Releasees of any proposed settlement of an Indemnified Claim. Participant may not, without Releasees’ prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim, or consent to the entry of any judgment regarding which indemnification is being sought this Waiver.  Participant acknowledges that this Waiver is a contract with legal and binding consequences and applies to all Events.
