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 separated.
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:  Los Altos Hills, Altamont, lower Page Mill, Arastradero, Alpine, 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.

Seems the word about the AV C ride is getting around
