A Ride 11/12/23 - Page Mill LKHC + Big Basin

Route: 83.36 miles, 7,976ft climbing: https://www.strava.com/routes/3157159332906479950

This week’s A-Ride will start off with a bang as we take on the Low-Key Hill Climb for the week of Page Mill. As with any A-Ride, riders are free to go at their own pace on the climb and we will do a full regroup at the top. Cam is looking lonely on the leaderboards so it’s time to add some more AV riders to the top 10. If you haven’t experienced it before, this will be a great opportunity to see what it’s like to take on a big climb with a fast group of riders. We guarantee you will set your PR or your club fees are refunded (pending board approval).

After getting that out of the way, we will continue at an endurance pace (if you can’t talk to the person next to you you’re going too hard) for the rest of the ride as we take in Big Basin, Bear Creek, a freshly paved Summit Road, and a ripping descent down Black Road.

Water stops at Jamison Creek Fire Station (Mile 40) and Los Gatos (Mile 63).

Please make sure your equipment (esp TIRES and brakes) are in excellent condition. This is not the best time to be testing whether that last wear bar is really worn out, especially since we will be riding a bit of gravel. If you have tubeless, make sure your sealant is topped off.
