Sunday A-Ride - Nov 10, 2024 - Black Rd + Skyline + 84

Howdy folks,

This Sunday’s A-Ride will be heading South towards Lexington Reservoir to tackle one of my favorite climbs in the South Bay: Black Road. From there we’ll head back North on Skyline and cruise down West Alpine (people can “bail” on Page Mill to make the route shorter). We’ll then climb west 84, descend east 84 and head back to Summit, or home. Expect a water stop at Castle Rock park.

We’ll aim to stay together with steady pace. Feel free to stretch your legs on the climbs, as long as we re-group on top.

Should be a nice day to play bikes. Hope to see you there!
