Making a difference

The Payden Memorial Foundation helps families that have financial need. We also support other non-profits that assist families dealing with childhood cancers.

In spite of Livingston winds this month, there are folks out there on their bikes getting ready for summer and Blazing Saddles IX. For ride day, and for training preparation, here is a map of the course and an elevation profile.

Click on an image to see a larger view, or click here to see them both on one page that you can print.


Remember that the elevation profile is condensed.The two longest of the rising profiles in the image extend well over ten miles each, and every rider seems to have taken those hills without dismounting. Of course, those who start at Battle Ridge have a nearly downhill ride into Livingston, with one or two rolling hills along the way.
