AVA Endurance 12/7/24 - Peninsula Hits: Page Mill, Kings, Tunitas

We’re going to earn our stripes this weekend on an 8500ft soirée. We’ll have an opportunity to grab some grub after if people so desire.

This week’s A Endurance Ride will be a Chilly Triple Dipper in Peninsula hills. We’ll start out with an appe-teaser climb up Page Mill to then rocket down the backside of 84. The loop will ascend Kings, roll down West 84, climb Tunitas, descend Skyline, and roll back on Cañada.  It’ll pack a whallup.

We’ll have a refuel at mile 34.5 at the intersection of Skyline and 84, and a second stop at mile 52.4 at the classic Bike Hut.  

Take advantage of this great weekend ride to beat the brunt of winter as one of the shortest days of the year approaches. Nice cool temperatures will be out and about, so bring some layers.  Ride up the hills as fast as you’d like, but we will be regrouping at the top of each climb.

We will meet at Summit Bicycles in Palo Alto at 9:00am, roll at 9:10am.
