The 3rd climb is easy

This week's ride was planned to take us up 2 hills that I’ve never climbed with AV; it’s a long way to the first stop with water so please plan accordingly. The first climb I’ve not done with AV is  Los Trancos Rd just past Alpine Hills Tennis club on Alpine road. It’s a short steep climb that always leaves me wondering “what was I thinking?” We’ll stop quickly at Alpine and Los Trancos so everyone can start the climb together. Stop 2 will be another quickie at the intersection of Vista Verde and Old Spanish Trail, neither of these have water. Stop 3 will be the base of Old La Honda for another quick regroup, then up OLH and Skyline to the first water stop at Page Mill/Alpine and Skyline; down Alpine and Pescadero Creek road then up 84 to Skylonda and a nice long regroup. We’ll descend 84 to Portola, Sand Hill and back to Foothills to coffee and a burrito. There are a couple of twists and turns on this route that are uncommon on the Saturday B-ride so please download the route to your head unit if you have one.
