AV A Endurance Ride - 01.13.23 Meet the Flintstones

This is the first edition of the new AV Endurance A ride, meeting Saturday 9am at Summit Bicycles Palo Alto. The ride is endurance focused, so we will keep steady at 2.5-3.5 W/kg and regroup for all riders.

The forecast is looking wet so I figured we could keep the ride in the lowlands. I added a few ~500ft steep climbs for some extra fun. We’ll begin with Moody Rd, before coming down Page and going north to the infamous Flintstones House. We’ll ascend via Tartan Trail Rd, then loop back down through San Mateo up Parrot Drive. Next we’ll make a game time call, depending on the rain. If it looks good enough we’ll go up Crestview, otherwise we’ll go down the Ralston Bike Path and return to Summit via Canãda.

See you there!
