Egan 2023.12 Ride the Wayside
This week we are going on another field trip as we head out to Ladera and Portola Valley. We’ll hit a couple short segments on our commute out, then you’ll be rewarded with some of Portola Valley’s finest including Minoca and Wayside. We still need to do a better job of splitting the group as the lead group could use 10-15 more riders. If you’ve been on the promotion list consider joining the lead group to challenge yourself and fitness.
