11/3 A Ride: Big Basin

Seems like we haven’t had a Sunday A ride in a minute, lets change that! We’ll do big basin, the Cafe is closed but there’s a water stop just after so should be fine. Looks like no clouds, so should be a beautiful day!

It is early season for most of us, so please, if you want to hammer you can hammer on the long climbs where we regroup at the top, but everywhere else we need to take it steady. I’ll personally be targeting around 4 w/kg or so on the climbs, feel free to go steady with me!

Water stops at mile 36 at Little Basin Rd, and at mile 60 at Castle Rock. I added them as waypoints on the strava file so they should pop up on your device if you download the route!
