AV C Ride for Saturday, September 3, '22 - Warm Weather Route

In light of the heat advisory, this week Christy will lead a moderately paced, shorter AV C ride up Stevens Cyn and thru Los Altos Hills. Then post-ride, the group plans to grab a bite a little further up Cal Ave at Vitality Bowls. Will be a nice time on the bike and after.
