From Bart Miller. An Invitation to Sam Krieg's Birthday Ride. Saturday May 25th. Pocatello

Saturday morning 5th Street Bagel Shop 8am. Pocatello, ID.

Ride will LEAVE at 8am sharp.  
All Riding is NEUTRAL except for KOM CLIMBS.
This is the first annual Un-supported and UN-Official Gran-Fondo in
Pocatello. Please come ride at your own risk. The roads are OPEN and the
course is NOT marked.  Please bring map or ask any questions. I will try and
put a few ARROWS on the road at Major Turns, but I don't promise.

I am tentatively calling it Bagels to Brewery.  This is a RIDE at your OWN
risk ride.  I take NO responsibility for anyone getting lost or suffering.

It is my favorite ride here in Pocatello. There is water at the Gas Station
in INKOM and at the BASE of Scout Mountain and Summit.  Bring a few dollars
if you want to buy something at the Gas Station.

KOM will be scored by Strava so bring a GPS or your smart PHONE with the APP.

Please feel free in invite anyone and come along.  It will be an amazing
ride.  You can't get dropped because the group will stop briefly at the
summit of each major climb (3-5 minutes) and also on Pebble, Crystal, and
Scout you can just U-TURN when the group comes by.  The ride can easily be
shortened by skipping 1 of the major climbs or by just only riding a partial
climb or taking a shortcut.  You can skip PEBBLE and wait, You can skip
Crystal, You  can skip Scout.  Honestly you could just ride Rapid Creek and
skip all of the major climbs.  It shouldn't be that hard to get back in the group.

The ride Will Travel over ..AMI HILL and DOWN Rapid Creek over ..HOOT
OWL(TAX-Day) hill.. To PEBBLE.. but we will use the climb on the left to
approach and the gravel road that cuts over to PEBBLE(see map)....  Then we
will head back down to INKOM stop at the Gas station.  Next we will ride to
Crystal and Finish with Scout.  

 I will have a very special prize for the KOM, QOM, and KOM (Masters 45+)
