A-Ride 2023-08-13-OLH, Pescadero, Tunitas

Highway 84 has reopened, so OLH is back on the menu! There is still a stoplight, so be aware we will be stopping and waiting for it. We’ll plan to stop for water in Pescadero after Bean Hollow, which should be enough to get people up and over Tunitas, but if necessary another quick stop at the bike hut can be done. 

Usual pace, 2.5-3.5 w/kg on everything except the climbs, no random surges, have all the fun you want on Tunitas, Stage, Lobitos, etc. There is still road blockage on stage, so be careful traversing that as per usual. Short regroups, if needed, at tops and bottoms of climbs.

Reminder: A-ride meets at Summit Bicycles on California Ave in Palo Alto at 8 am Sunday during the summer.
