AV C Ride for Oct 27’22

Interested in joining a ride focused on fun and enjoyment with twists and turns on local roads that you didn’t know existed?  Looking for that Chill Ride (C Ride) that will excite and thrill without the scare?  Join us.

I will be leading this week and of course throwing in some nice curves in the tour - Ed Stewart

Starts at Summit Bicycles in Palo Alto

Roads Less Traveled
42.5 miles, 2.9k' vertical.

The AV C Ride is subject to Alto Velo's Ride Rules (read them!) and all participants must sign an annual waiver.
Helmets required, no sudden lateral moves, call out hazards, call out mechanical problems, avoid The Slinky, …

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

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

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

Protocol: double paceline when conditions allow, jam as hard as you like on the climbs, occasional sprint OK, soft pedal for an in-flight regroup when separate
Regroup at the top of every major climb and every significant descent — everyone descends at their own safe speed

Bring two water bottles

Route highlights:  Polhemus Road, Sawyer Camp Trail, Huddart Park

Regroups: will complement rolling regroups with stops every 10-15mi, next stop will be called out at each stop

On the C Ride we emphasize group riding skills & communication in a supportive, controlled environment. We will keep the group together when not climbing nor descending.
