This route has some classic climbs and descents, with La Cresta Dr thrown in for a fun finish. The weather forecast is awesome and I hope to see a lot of you out on this ride.

Start: Summit Bikes - 392 California Ave, Palo Alto, CA

Protocol:

  • Helmets required, no sudden lateral moves, call out hazards, call out mechanical problems, ride at a steady pace, …, ask for a mentor if you are new to group riding

  • Jam as hard as you like on the climbs, occasional sprint OK, soft pedal for an in-flight regroup when we get separated

  • Regroup at the top of every major climb and every significant descent — everyone descends at their own safe speed

  • Pay attention to the regroup locations and don’t pass them if you wish to stay with the group

  • If you breakaway before the first regroup please be encouraged to wait at the first stop (if the wait is too long we will break the ride into two fragments: drop and no drop)

Bring two water bottles

Regroups: first regroup in Huddart Park*, with the rest called out in real-time
* right turn at “T”, then down to water and bathrooms near the volleyball courts
