Sunday A Ride - 3/2/2025 - Bohlman to Saratoga

Written By Alto Velo

This Sunday will be incredibly climbing dense, packing in over 11k feet of elevation gain in under 90 miles. Beware: there is also a short dirt section between Bohlman and Montevina. Because of the amount of climbs, we won’t be pushing anything beyond 5wkg up the climbs. Expect an average of 4.2-4.5wkg up climbs. The steepness will be fatiguing, and as such will determine the pace in some sections. The weather is also looking on the colder/wetter side, so be sure to dress accordingly. See you all out there!
