A Ride - Sunday 6/9 - Pesky Recon

This week we’ll head to Pescadero to recon the RR course. We’ll complete the full lap twice, with the first being endurance pace to learn the course and the second time being at race pace. We’ll do a rolling regroup on 84 and then a full regroup at the top of Haskins, finally heading back up West Alpine to go home.

We’ll do a coffee/water stop during the first lap in Pescadero (Mile 32) to fill up on water and enjoy the nice weather before we take on the full course. If the group needs water the second time around we can make an additional, shorter stop.

This will be a long day out with lots of climbing and carbs burned, so make sure to bring your fuel and eat as we go! Even though this is a race recon, it’s not the day to leave your flat kit behind to get an extra 1.3s on the Haskins segment.

Start Time: The A-ride meets at Summit Bicycles on California Ave in Palo Alto at 8 am Sunday. We will roll at 8:10 am.
