AV A Endurance Ride 1/20/24 - Kings & West Alpine

The second edition of the A-Endurance ride will feature a Kings-West Alpine loop. The forecast has a bit of rain, but it’s getting better and better - it’s supposed to be light and less than a 30-40% chance into the early afternoon. To start, we’ll ride through PV and Woodside to Kings, climb Kings via Greer and Huddart park, and regroup at the top of Kings. From there, we’ll do a little adventure on Star Hill, ride Skyline south to 84, and stop for water at Sky Londa. We’ll descend 84 to La Honda, turn left onto Pescadero Creek, and after making sure we’re all together, climb West Alpine. We’ll regroup at the top of West Alpine and finish the ride by descending Page Mill. 

The pace will be easier than a Sunday A-ride; let’s keep it in Zone 2 for the most part. Feel free to do intervals on the climbs and wait for the group at the top. We can add a Haskins in before West Alpine if we are feeling it.

Reminder: The A-Endurance ride meets at Summit Bicycles on California Ave in Palo Alto at 9 am Saturday
