AV A Ride- 12.17.23 Big Basin

Written By Alto Velo

With the forecast improving for Sunday, I am optimistic we can make it to Big Basin. I will check the forecast again Saturday night and send an update if necessary.

This will be an endurance ride. The pace will be ~ 3-3.5 w/kg on flats/rollers. Riders are welcome to go as hard as they wish on the two longer climbs (Pagemill and Bear Creek) where we will regroup at the top. But we expect to stay together on shorter climbs, flats and rollers. We will also regroup after long descents.

  • Check your bike and make sure it is in good condition.

  • Please respect the pace set by the ride leader.

  • Please be careful on the descents. Many corners are wet.

  • We aim to keep a steady pace, moving and avoid long stops.

We will have 2 stops for food and water:

20 min stop in Boulder Creek (mile 42)

5 min stop in Castle rock for water (mile 59)
