LAST UPDATE Friday, June 29, 2007

We are allowing riders of the Segovia Breakfast run to stop at our creek property as a rest stop.  Please be very careful.  This is a very wild area.  Watch were you walk and please tread lightly.  You may get wet in the creek but no swimming up the creek.  Please dispose of all trash in the proper locations.  Enjoy a rest next to this incredible creek.  Feel free to lay down in the shallow cool water after your 10 mile ride.  An aid station will be available.
