AV A Ride 5/26/24 - SC Hills
The weather is supposed to be perfect on Sunday, so let’s get some great riding in!
Steady pace when we’re not on the 3 major climbs. Hwy 9, Jamison Creek, and Zayante are great places to have some fun and go a bit harder, we’ll regroup at the top of each climb, as well as after any fast descents that may break up the group. It’s a long ride, so I’ll be strict about not going too hard outside of the climbs.
It won’t be super hot, but we’ll be exposed some of the day and Zayante always feels way warmer than listed temp, so plan on bringing some extra electrolytes! As for carbs, I recommend around 450-550g.
Stops:
A quick stop at mile ~15 at the intersection of Mt Eden Rd and Stevens Canyon to top off bottles if anyone is worried about making it to the fire station, else we roll through
