4/27 B-Ride: Portola Redwoods
This edition of the beloved B Ride will take you into a gem of the Santa Cruz Mountains: Portola Redwoods State Park. We will exit town via Page Mill Road and regroup at the top, rolling at a 52-minute pace. We will descend West Alpine and Portola State Park Road and regroup at the ranger station at the bottom. Fill up your water, and start the 20-minute climb back up to West Alpine Road, where we will regroup a third time. We will proceed down West Alpine single-file. Then, we will climb 84 back up to Sky Londa and regroup at the general store. As a coda to the ride, we will descend 84 into Woodside, and climb through Huddart Park, regrouping at the top. Our final stop will be the Village Hub Coffee Bar & Garden in Woodside. For those who wish to return to Palo Alto, descend Whiskey Hill Road and Sand Hill Road, turn right on Junipero Serra Boulevard, and left on Stanford Avenue.
