Ride Start: Upper parking lot of the Lexington Elementary School in Los Gatos. We are going back to our original Summer Fitness Route, as we didn't like the one we did on 8/23rd. Today is supposed to be a lot cooler with a high of a pleasant 78-80 degrees. Jennifer will lead the faster cyclists in front. Melanie will lead from behind. John will lead a shorter version, listed separately. This is a really tough route. It's not a good ride for beginners. Make sure you bring enough food. There is water along the route, but it wouldn't hurt to carry 2-liter bottles. Start location: Lexington Elementary School, Los Gatos, CA [Route/Map]
