A-ride 1/22/23

While many local roads are still recovering from the damage of flooding, let’s head south to explore the daunting Mt. Umunhum. On the way back, we will climb Hwy9 then descend Page back because why go through a flat route when there’s a climb.

Pace will be steady 3.0-3.5 w/kg on the flat and 3.5-4.0 w/kg on the climbs. You’re welcome to do harder intervals on the climb, but it’s a courtesy to turn back once you reach the top to get more miles in ride with your teammates. We will regroup on top of Mt. Umunhum and stop at Saratoga on the way back for water.
