Protocol:
Paceline when conditions allow, 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
Bring two water bottles
Description:
Peloton, we are heading south because it looks like the rain will come from the north. With luck we will be back without getting wet and if the rain starts early we will skip the Altamont loop.
If you breakaway before the first regroup you will be encouraged to wait at the first stop. If the wait is too long we will break into two fragments: drop and no drop.
Regroups: first stationary regroup in Rancho San Antonio County Park (water, bathrooms), each subsequent regroup location will be called out during a stop
