Ride date has been changed to Saturday, October 23 in order to avoid the madding crowd that will swarm University Ave in North Park for a marathon on Sunday, October 24.
This route will start from Rouleur Brewing Company in North Park. The places you'll stop through will include the entrance to the Cabrillo National Monument, Mt Soladad, Old Town, Liberty Station, Pepper Park and USS Midway. Total elevation gain is estimated to be around 2,400 feet and just over 100 km.

The winner or winners will receive a prize to be determined.
Registration will include coffee and light snacks at the start and staffed control with provisions during the populaire.
