Hi Janine,

I know that my friend, Berta, and I haven't been riding regularly
w/the groups because of school (finals are next week) and we're both
graduating so it's been a balancing act. That said, she and I were
thinking about riding this Sunday, but we've never done the Paskenta
Hill before. What distance, terrain and pacing is expected? Berta
hasn't been riding all that regularly, so we might opt for something
more flat and short. :)

Thanks,
Amber
