AV A Ride 11/05/23 - Endurance Century-Bonny Doon & Zayante
This week’s A Ride will take us to small coastal town of Daven Port through Pescadero and returns through some of the most scenic roads in Santa Cruz Mountains.
This will be a long endurance ride (to give you an idea expect the page mill climb will take 45 to 48 min). The pace will be ~ 3 w/kg on flats/rollers. Riders are welcome to hammer the climbs where we will regroup at the top.
Please respect the pace set by ride leader. If you like a faster pace, you are welcome to leave 5 minutes earlier, but if you start with ride leader, I advice not to create chaos.
We will aim to stay together in flats and rollers. This route include great sections to practice pace lining. At the same time, this is a long route for a short fall day, so we want to be keep moving and avoid unnecessary delays.
We will have 3 stops for food and water:
10 min stop in Pescadero (Mile 31)
20 min stop in Felton (Mile 67)
10 min stop in Los Gatos (mile 84)
