AV-C Ride August 10th, 2024 - Portola State Park

Hi All

This week’s route is an endurance climbing ride with two major climbs, Page Mill and Portola St Rd/Alpine. If you did the Coastal route, this route has about the same amount of elevation gain (~5k). Climbing Page Mill, we will have a regroup at Foothill Park, where there’s water and restrooms. Next regroup will be at the top, before descending into Portola State Park. When descending to the park, please keep to the left at the fork and don’t continue down Alpine; we will have a short regroup to make sure. At Portola State Park, it is a full facility. After our regroup at the park, we will climb back up to Skyline where we’ll have another regroup. The route is very scenic, so if you miss it on the downhill, you’ll have time to enjoy it on the way back up. From all the routes we have done, this is the simplest of routes and you just need to make sure you don’t go down Alpine Road at the turn, but people will be there to make sure. There are some options we can discuss the morning of the ride. The climb out of the park could take up to an hour, so it’s a double water bottle day.

AV-C Ride August 3rd, 2024 - Three Vistas

Hi All,

After a July filled with trips to the West side of the ridge, we will start August off with a route closer to home. What better way to appreciate our corner of the bay area than to get three different perspectives on it?
This Saturday, we will roll down to Mora to get our first photo op at the top of Rancho San Antonio. We will then wind through the Los Altos Hills via Taffe and Altamont to Foothills Park for scenic Vista #2, plus bathrooms and water. After a quick descent and regroup we will wind through Portola Valley and Woodside before our second water break at the Old Woodside Store. Then it’s off to Cañada College for our last Vista, followed by a meander through Emerald Hills and a smooth roll to Backyard Brew via Alameda De Las Pulgas.

AV-C 7.13.2024: Alpine, Joaquin, & local hills (w/possible gravel option)

Hi All

This week we will keep the route a bit more local, but with some challenging climbs.  The C-group typically does the Coastal route twice to capture the Bike Hut Classic (July 4 to 21), so our second round will be done again next week.
This Saturday, we will climb up to Westridge via the back way through Ladera back roads.  Our first regroup will be at Little Peoples Park.  The route will then take us up Alpine Rd and regroup at the top.  I had a couple of requests to sprinkle in some gravel, so we can see if there is any interest to form a separate group to continue up Alpine trail/gravel.  Next, the route will go up Joaquin and then make our way to Page Mill.  We will then go up Page Mill and regroup at Foothill Park, and we should then meet up with the gravel group.  There are then a couple of Los Altos climbs and then we will make our way back to Backyard Brew.

AV-C Ride 6.29.2024 Los Altos Hills and Montebello

Hi All

This weekend’s route starts off with some warm-up climbs in the Los Altos Hills that will take us to the top of Rancho San Antonio. We will have a regroup in the park at our usual spot for water and restrooms. The route simply gets back to Foothill Blvd, which will then connect to Montebello climb. For those not familiar with this climb, it starts out steep with a relatively flat portion past the school (1.6 mi), followed by more climbing (Montebello Climb 5.2mi). For those Gravel types, you can keep going at the top (self-guided, Alpine trail or PM) and then consider meeting us back at Backyard Brew. We will then have a short regroup at the top and then a longer regroup at the park-stop below Mt. Eden Rd (Canyon Picnic Area). After our last regroup, we will then proceed back on Foothill Blvd.

The forecast is for warm weather. So, keep hydrated and load up on water at the regroups and consider double water bottles for your ride.

BTW, this ride will provide conditioning for the Bike Hut Classic (July 4 to 21) rides that will be coming up for AVC group in July.

We will be going up to Skyline Saturday via Kings Mt. rd, and the weather forecast looks favorable. We will go up the typical way through Sandhill and then have a mini-regroup at Mt. Home/84. We then go through Huddart Park for a regroup at our typical spot. Next regroup is after Kings Mt and Swett climb, at the top. There is an option to go down Kings Mt. and then meet the group at the Water Temple, if you don’t want to do Skyline. We will then continue down Canada and then to Whiskey and Sandhill.

This is Roger’s last ride with us before he moves away. He will be missed and we wish him well. Hopefully, he can join us on rides on his visits to the Bay Area.

Saturday C Ride, May 11th, 2024: Pancakes all way down

Hello AV, 

For this weekend's C ride I thought it would be a shame if we missed out on the pancake party B and A-Endurance are partaking in.  We will be going the reverse direction as A and B, heading out via Foothill until we arrive at our first rest stop at the picnic area just off the Mt Eden junction with Steven's Canyon.  From there we will climb Redwood Gulch and 9 up to Skyline for pancakes (bring $5!).  After that it's along Skyline to a Page Mill descent and a final regroup at Page and Arastradero before either an extra bonus mini loop (not mapped) or a nice roll back to coffee.

Alto Velo B/C Ride May, 4 2024: Canceled

Hi Peloton

We held out as long as possible, but instead of getting better, the forecast has gotten worst for Saturday. I still can’t believe that there is only 1 day of rain forecast in 2 weeks and it is on a Saturday. Both the B & C Rides are canceled for this Saturday, 5/4/24.

Reminder

Saturday from 9am to 12 noon at 268 Castro St, Mountain View head to Dave Keefe, one of AV's longest standing sponsors, and his company Action Properties for some spring shredding and coffee! There will be secure document shredding by Shred Works and an espresso bar by Cafe Carello. RSVP HERE!

We will first head up Page Mill to Foothill Park, and then meander through the Los Altos Hills riding along a couple of Egan hills (Briones Way, Tepa, Mora Trail,…). We will end up in Rancho San Antonio, and them make our way to Mt Eden. We eventually get to Saratoga. We are on a group ride, so we will have mini regroups at the top of each climb.
