A Ride 2023-06-11 - Pescadero

With the exciting news that the Pescadero Coastal Classic Road Race is happening on July 22nd, we will preview the (new) course during this week’s A Ride! We will go up Page and down 84 to Pescadero Creek Road, where we’ll head up Haskins Hill before descending to the town of Pescadero for a quick coffee and water stop. We will then head up Highway 1 and 84 to West Alpine before descending Page to return to Summit. .

It’s threshold/PR season so pace will be “spirited” on the major climbs, but we’ll regroup at the top of each (Page, Haskins, West Alpine). If you’re one those people who “doesn’t like to stop during rides” you’re welcome to get some bonus miles by descending and climbing again while we wait. We will ride the descents/flats in a steady pace with the goal of keeping the group together for some paceline practice.

Reminder: A-ride meets at Summit Bicycles on California Ave in Palo Alto at 9 a.m. Sunday.
