AV C Ride for Saturday, Aug27’22 - Steven’s Canyon / Montalvo
This week we will explore a new route, and head south. The hills will be small and not extended, and light. Only 2800+ft of climbing. I am aiming for a social ride where we keep the majority of the group together and within minutes of each other. We can shorten the regroups (so nobody gets cold, haha), and draft of each other. Additionally, you have Ed Stewart leading this week, and he likes to keep it novel so look at the route.
