Sunday A Ride August 11, 2024 - RWG9/ Montevina

Hello! This Sunday the plan is to start the ride with a leisurely ascent of Page Mill to Altamont. We will then head south on Foothill to ascend the short but not too sweet Redwood Gulch. We will continue climbing up Hwy 9, take a left on Skyline, and continue climbing as we hit the Castle Rock high point. As we descend skyline, we will meet the ‘squiggly’ section and weave our way south where we will descend Mt Charlie/ Old Santa Cruz Hwy. We’ll cap off our climbing by going up and over Montevina to descend down a technical Bohlman (be careful!). We’ll take the flat way back to foothill and call it a day!
