42 miles, 3.2k' vertical

The rain is forecast to wind down tomorrow (Friday). We will ride a full route while staying on the lower half of our usual hills. On Saturday, let’s concentrate to travel in a “straight” line without sudden, lateral moves. We’ll use hand signals and call out hazards.

The AV C Ride is subject to Alto Velo's Ride Rules (read them!) and all participants must sign an annual waiver.

Non - Members: Alto Velo welcomes non-members to join us on our ride; however, non-members must have a Waiver on file with the club.

Time: Saturday gather at 9:00am, rolling by 9:15am

Start: Summit Bikes - 392 California Ave, Palo Alto, CA
Summit is Alto Velo's sponsoring bike shop.

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 for fun, 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

Bring two water bottles

Regroups: first regroup in Rancho San Antonio park; remaining regroups called out at each stop
