A Ride - 6.4.23 - Lexington Climbs

Love climbing? Love suffering? Need an excuse to skip work Monday?

For this week’s A Ride we’ll be tackling some less frequented climbs around Lexington Reservoir (whose volume has doubled since last year). On the menu is Soda Springs, Montevina, and Hwy 9. We’ll regroup at the top of every climb so that everyone can go at their own pace. Water stops at Los Gatos (mi 23) and Saratoga (mi 51). Couple gravel sectors and technical descents so come prepared. Hope to see you there!

Soda Springs - 5 mi at 9%

Montevina - 3.5 mi at 9%

Hwy 9 - 5.5 mi at 6.5%
