Alto Velo C Ride Dec 3 ‘22
Peloton
This week’s C Ride is the direct opposite from last week. We are expecting rain and so we are doing the Rain Route. What is that, you say? That is the low route to avoid hills and likely areas of rain. We used to do it a lot before climate change. An additional fun aspect of this weekends ride is that we will start with the B Ride, but very much have our own ride.
Start: Summit Bicycles in Palo Alto
Date/Time: Saturday, 12/3 @ 9am (leave 9:15 am)
Route: AV C Ride - Rain Route
2450' climbing
The AV C Ride is subject to Alto Velo's Ride Rules (read them!) and all participants must sign an annual waiver.
Helmets required, no sudden lateral moves, call out hazards, call out mechanical problems, avoid The Slinky, …
Non - Members: Alto Velo welcomes non-members to join us on our rides. However, non-members must have a Waiver on file with the club.
Protocol: double paceline when conditions allow, jam as hard as you like on the climbs, occasional sprint OK, soft pedal for an in-flight regroup when separated. Regroup at the top of every major climb and every significant descent — everyone descends at their own safe speed. Bring two water bottles. On the C Ride we emphasize group riding skills & communication in a supportive, controlled environment.
We will keep the group together when not climbing nor descending.
