It's not too late to give your favorite ride leader an expensive holiday gift.  If you're not the creative type and need gifts ideas, consider: a Honda Civic Type R in white with a manual transmission, a Sony a7 iii camera body, airline tickets to Amsterdam for New Years, etc.

This is a beautiful short loop that travels many of the same roads as the Wednesday Night Worlds and the plain old Piney Hill loop.  Basically, it adds a climb of Shepperd Rd to add a few miles.  There's a rest stop at the Filling Station 8 miles from the finish where we can get coffee, a pastry, or even a taco or a burrito.  Rain will cancel the ride.
