AV-C Ride March 1st - Los Altos Hills and Montebello

Hi All

Weather forecast looks good for the day, so we will head to the hills. This weekend’s route starts off with some warm-up climbs in the Los Altos Hills, and we’ll find our way to our regular Rancho San Antonio regroup spot, where there’s water and restrooms. The route simply gets back to Foothill Blvd, which will then connect to Montebello climb. For those not familiar with this climb, it starts out steep with a relatively flat portion past the school (1.6 mi), followed by more climbing (Montebello Climb 5.2mi). For those Gravel types, you can keep going at the top, and those familiar with the trails can find their way back to Backyard Brew (by PM or Alpine trail). At top, we can see if anyone needs a pitstop (Mt. Eden Rd Canyon Picnic Area), OR will will regroup at Stevens Creek Reservoir parking lot at the bottom. After our regroup, we will then proceed back on Foothill Blvd.

The forecast is for cooler temps, so you may need layers to strip off going up hill and to put back on for the downhill.

Alto Velo C Ride - Feb 8th, 2025 - Canada / Black Mountain Road / Crestview

Hi All

Saturday looks like cool temperatures but very sunny. We will avoid Skyline but still tackle 3 hills to give us some climbing (Black Mountain, Crestview and Edgewood). Generally this will take us out Canada and to the reservoir dam where we will head right down the hill to a steep left hand climb. Woodridge will met up with Black Mountain and we will track back to the dam. We will head down again to Polhemis and up to Crestview from the less steep side. Across the top we will go, and down the super fast descent into Edgewood. We will then turn right and up Edgewood back to Canada. For there it is mostly downhill through Atherton, Alameda and back through Stanford Campus.

Alto Velo B & C Ride - Feb 1st, 2025 - Rain Route Options

Hi All

As I am sure the majority of you know, it is supposed to start raining tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday morning looks to be the heaviest of the next 5-6 rain days. We need the water so I am not going to complain. And we have had some amazing sunny days where we have gotten good winter riding in.

We have decided to combine the B & C Rides for those hardy souls that want to brave the weather and ride.

If a ride leader doesn’t show up, please self organize and choose one of these 2 routes or self organize. I can neither confirm nor deny if I will be present at the ride.

Alto Velo C Ride - Jan 25th, 2025 - Huddard / Emerald Hills / Page Mill

Hi All

I think of this as a modified old school C Ride. We will tackle 3 hills (Huddard, Emerald and Page Mill) before returning to Stanford Mall and Shake Shack. At Shake Shack we will get free beverages and hang out under our tent.

On Saturday 1/25, we will be hosting our first Shack Track & Field event. The last Saturday of every month all of our group rides will end at the Stanford Shopping Center Shake Shack. All participants will get one free drink and can buy more food/drinks as they wish. We will have the club tent and bike rack there and have the outdoor space on the South side of the restaurant reserved for Alto Velo. You'll need to sign in with a Shake Shack representative and then you'll get a voucher for a free drink (lemonade, milkshakes, root beer, etc. up to $7).
