Alto Velo C Ride Nov 26 ’22
Announcement
This week’s C Ride is very much an exploration ride. We will start with a few twist and turns through Stanford to keep us together, and then we will have a nice long warm up by traveling across Alameda to Emerald Hills. We will take some of the different roads through EH, and end up on the normal regroup at Jefferson / Canada. We are a constant user of Huddard so we will provide some variety by visiting the same roads but also take on some new roads. Westridge and Page Mill will provide our final climbs.
Let’s plan on stopping at Backyard Brew to get tea / coffee etc. after the ride and enjoy the holiday and nice weather.
Starts at Summit Bicycles in Palo Alto
