3. Our next ride 

Saturday, October 12 at 9 am

The Road to Riches 

Mesa Verde Middle School | 8375 Entreken Way | SD 92129

Please arrive by 8:45 am.  

  • Mile 5.1 begins a steep, ½ mile-long uphill on a dirt road. 

    • Most of us don’t have the gears or tires for this kind of terrain, so 

    • feel free to walk up the hill 

    • No need to single file as you walk up the hill. 🙂

Mile 5.6 - 6.1 is on gravel. 

  • Mile 6.8: Welcome to Hootersville, Del Mar Mesa’s very own farm 

    • Goats Lenny and Squiggy are friendly and love carrots and apples. 

    • Please bring carrots and apples. 

    • The owners kindly ask that we don’t overfeed their goats.

Thank you for reading. Have a good week. See you soon
