A-Ride 9/04/2022

This week’s A-Ride will feature a few hours riding at stead-state on relatively flat-fast-draftable terrain so those of us racing Giro the following day can save our energy.

We’ll be starting at Summit Bicycles in Palo Alto, then taking foothill to Mt. Eden. From the top we will, depending on the will of the group, return either through Saratoga or back-track to Foothill then continue our journey to Arastradero/Portola Valley where we will head out to Canada and stop for water at the water temple. We’ll flip around there, and head back via Jefferson and Alameda. Pace will be friendly, so if you’ve been A-ride curious but intimidated by challenging routes this will be a great one to join for!
