NOTE FROM RIDE MANAGER

While I was confident that I would not have to cancel the Descanso ride on June 6, in a conversation with one of the Park Rangers he advised me that permit fees had gone up and that he estimated that our permit fee to use the trails at the Cuyamaca Rancho State Park would be about $4,000.  

Previously attendance at this Ride was frequently in excess of 150 riders. Probably because of my last-minute scheduling of this ride, and the cost of fuel, the number of entries are under 60 riders, so the entry fees would not even cover the cost of the Park fees, the cost of the Basecamp, veterinarians, so it is necessary for me to cancel the June 6 ride  at this time. I plan to reschedule this event for May 22 of next year which will give those  who are interested in attending this event the opportunity to put it on their schedule and plan accordingly. The 2027 ride will be named “NoCancel Descanso.”

Those who have entered this ride and paid their fees will have the option of rolling over their entry for a spot in next year‘s ride (regardless if the entry fees have gone up) or getting a full refund of the fees paid.  Those riders who have paid their entry fees should text or call me at (619) 992-0084 and let me know if they want to roll their entry over to next year or would like a refund.   - Terry
