The Morning Ride

The Morning Ride (TMR) begins at conversation pace climbing up Sand Hill Rd. towards I-280. The hammering starts with the Sand Hill Stinger and the hard effort continues until a brief regroup at Alpine Rd. and Portola Rd. On Tuesdays, the group turns right from Portola Road onto Willowbrook Dr. and then left onto Alpine Rd. sprinting to the School Crossing sign. On Thursdays, the group continues straight on Portola Road, sprinting to the Fire Station sign. The ride then rolls at conversation pace to Page Mill for a climb up to Altamont Rd., after which there is another regroup. Finally, there is a fast descent through Los Altos Hills with a final sprint point on Chapin Rd.
