AV A Ride 9/17/23 - Kings, 92, HMB, Tunitas, Swett

This week’s A Ride will lead us to the nice coastal town of Half-Moon Bay, climbing Kings Mountain and decscending 92 along the way. After a short coffee stop in HMB, we will paceline HW1 until Tunitas and add a slight twist towards the top, going up Swett road until Skyline.

The pace will be real 3-3.3 W/kg everywhere (sorry but my coach likes zone 2 endurance rides), with people welcome to go as hard as they like on Kings and Tunitas, where we will regroup at the top. We will aim to stay together outside of these two climbs and maintain a steady (i.e. not surgy) pace, especially between Kings and HMB and on the HW1 stretch. Hope to see you on Sunday!
