AV C Ride for Saturday, 8/6 - Sawyer Camp Route - Start Summit Bikes in Palo Alto

Hi,

I’ll be leading this Saturday’s AV C ride as we again head out on The Sawyer Camp Route. This is an excellent route for us to practice smooth steady pace-lining as the miles roll by.

Regroups: Woodside, Canada X Bike Path (tho the goal is to stick together paceling on Canada), Crystal Springs Trailhead, Water Temple (again, all should be together at this point), Woodside Store, Alpine, Page Mill

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.
