AV A Ride 9/10/23 - RWG, Hwy 9, Hwy 35, Cañada

This week’s A Ride will be a bit different than usual. We will climb Redwood Gulch to Hwy 9 and then head up to 92 via Skyline/35. We will regroup at the top of 9 before seeing how fast we can ride the 25 mile stretch of Skyline. With no major climbs along 35, we won’t plan to regroup again until we reach the bottom of 92. Temperatures are starting to fall, so this ride should be possible without stopping for water. However, we will pass through Woodside at mile 56 if anyone needs to fill up. If anyone wants extra mileage, we can tack on some flat miles riding out and back on Foothill toward Cupertino.
