The QERs are designed to be self-supported randonneuring style rides, with no SAG/aid stations. We will provide some supplemental food and nutrition to take along at the beginning of the ride, but please bring what you usually need for a long ride like this.
This ride is open to all active members. Registration is required.
**** NOTE CHANGES ON ROUTE: Due to strong winds forecasted in the Santa Monica Mountains area, we are postponing that ride to January. For tomorrow, we will be staying more local and riding to the Upper Big Tujunga.
