Canyon Lakes (Medium)

Distance: 49 miles and 3500 feet of elevation gain (mapping software)

We start the day with the long riders by heading up Bouquet Canyon and around Bouquet Reservoir. The climb up Bouquet Cyn is beautiful and not all that hard. Then there is the short climb over Spunky Canyon (the peak at mile 23.5 on the profile) before a break in Green Valley. Here this medium  route splits from the long. After the break, the route takes San Francisquito down (approximately 15 mile downhill). From the bottom of San Francisquito it is a short hop back to the start. As you can see by the profile, most of the climbing is in the long gradual climb up Bouquet and then the short but steeper climb over Spunky.  The second half of the ride is mostly downhill.
