AV-C 7.13.2024: Alpine, Joaquin, & local hills (w/possible gravel option)

Hi All

This week we will keep the route a bit more local, but with some challenging climbs.  The C-group typically does the Coastal route twice to capture the Bike Hut Classic (July 4 to 21), so our second round will be done again next week.
This Saturday, we will climb up to Westridge via the back way through Ladera back roads.  Our first regroup will be at Little Peoples Park.  The route will then take us up Alpine Rd and regroup at the top.  I had a couple of requests to sprinkle in some gravel, so we can see if there is any interest to form a separate group to continue up Alpine trail/gravel.  Next, the route will go up Joaquin and then make our way to Page Mill.  We will then go up Page Mill and regroup at Foothill Park, and we should then meet up with the gravel group.  There are then a couple of Los Altos climbs and then we will make our way back to Backyard Brew.
