This is a fairly remote route with a single stop in Glen
Ellen. The two Fire Stations along this ride at Dry Creek-
Lokoya on Dry Creek Rd and Mayacamas Station on
Cavedale have a water spigot and a Karma Kit with bike
tools and a floor pump. At this time, there is no water
available-the wells have run dry due to the current
drought. Plan accordingly and bring plenty of water and
or ride with a Camelbak.
