Saturday A-Ride 2/15 - Kings/Haskins/W. Alpine

Hi everyone, let’s hit two classic climbs on the peninsula this Saturday, in a (at least for me) less usual way with Kings on the way to the coast and West Alpine/Page on the way back. Of course, not missing Pescadero and 84 inbetween. I was more sick than healthy this winter, so won’t break any w/kg records - the goal is to keep real endurance pace and not destroy the group, but the 2 climbs are long enough to smash it if you want… but let’s try to keep it to two re-groups max. The wind should be mild, though it will most likely blow straight to our faces on 84, so composed riding with turns or paceline would be great!

Pescadero is a must stop to satisfy the caffeine addiction some of us suffer from (ehm), we can also do a second stop if necessary.

Seems the rainy days are over now (hooray!), but let’s hope for more wind and sun this Friday to dry out the roads. See you on Saturday!
