AV A Endurance -Saturday 08/17

This Saturday the A Endurance ride will take you to HMB to reclaim one of our favorite roads “Higgins Canyon” which I heard is open to bikes again. We will try to practice pace lining on Hwy 1 and 84 ( a skill that I realize needs to refreshed on AV rides). We will then climb W-Alpine before descending back to summit through Page.

Pace:

You can do your workouts on two big climbs (Kings & W-Alpine) in this route, whatever that keeps you fit. However, we will stay together and keep a steady pace at 2.5-3 W/kg everywhere else. We will regroup at tope of climbs and after long descents. Please respect the pace, if in doubt, don’t pass the ride leader. We will have a 20 min stop in HMB and if required a quick water stop in fire station in La Honda before final climb.
