Saturday Endurance A Ride - 2024-05-25 - Name better climbs

On this week Saturday A ride, we will climb two of my favorite climbs in the area: Page Mill and Tunitas. People are welcome to go at their own pace on these two segments, and we will do a full regroup at the top. In between, we will keep the group together, keeping the pace at a consistent 2.5-3.5w/kg. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast, so I expect us to maintain an honorable speed while avoiding any random surges. Sections like Skyline, 84 and 92 are most fun in a group.

We will not have any major stop on the route other than quick water refills at Skylonda and the Bike Hut, so pack adequate food (at least 50g carbs/h, ideally more).

Hope to see you there on Saturday!
