Ride Description

⚠️The ride is subject to Alto Velo's Ride Rules and all participants must sign an annual waiver.⚠️


Bonjour / Hi AVBers!

Inspired by Johnathan’s ride a few weeks back, I’m leading a Big Basin B (Endurance) ride. Due to the length of the ride, we will try to keep it contained with fewer, shorter stops along the way. Think long and steady endurance.

Route is clockwise. We’ll head up Page Mill, regroup at the top shortly, head down to Boulder Creek where we will stop for water and snacks, one more regroup at the intersection of route 9 and 236 and the last water stop at the fire station on SkyLine.

The forecast looks clear and not too hot! Perfect day out!

For those wondering, Miles / Bicycle Law is hosting us at Manresa bread next week exceptionally this month.

Excited to see everyone!
