AV C Ride for 1/21 - Sawyer Camp Route

Hi,

On this Saturday’s AV C ride we’ll enjoy a modified Sawyer Camp Route. This is an excellent route for us to practice steady pace-lining as the miles roll by.
Starting Feb 1, PG&E is closing the bike path between Canada Rd & Polhemus for extended work. This will be one of your last chances to enjoy the path for quite a while.
Huddart Park is currently closed, so we will turn left at KIng’s & head directly to Woodside. We’ll consider climbing Alpine instead on the way back. Will evaluate during a Woodside regroup (replacing the Old General Store regroup). The details below & the route don’t reflect these changes.

The AV C Ride offers a more moderate workout than the other Alto Velo rides (tho a workout it is). Group riding skills & communication in a supportive controlled paceline are emphasized. When not on designated climbs, we aim to keep the group together.
