AV C Ride for Saturday, September 10, '22 - Alpine, Not Jefferson, Route

Alto Velo’s highlight of the season, the Club Picnic, is this Saturday afternoon. To make sure that Club members have time to organize & get to the picnic, I will lead the slightly shorter Alpine, Not Jefferson, route. Will be a nice time on the bike and after. We should get back to Summit Bicycles by 12:30pm.

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:  Two short spicy climbs, Huddart & Alpine, with ample opportunity to paceline elsewhere.

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.
