Ride Description

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


Hi All,

***** Please note this ride starts at the Summit Bicycle in Los Gatos***

Our race team is competing in Cat’s Hill this Saturday and we will make our annual pilgrimage to the race to support them. I will be driving down and if you wish to carpool let me know. I can take 2 others.

We will start at Summit and ride some flatter miles through Saratoga so we can loosen up the legs, and then tackle Highway 9. The segment is 6.41 miles and just over 2k vertical feet. At Saratoga Gap we will turn left and head to Castle Rock State Park and get our water replenishment and bathroom break. We will then continue across Skyline going mostly downhill, across Highway 17 and eventually head down to Lexington Reservoir. We will end with a gravel section down the dam and along the creek and finish at the Purple Onion. Once we finish up our coffee / latte / ice team, I hope you will join me by heading over to the other side of Los Gatos and cheer on our team.

The AV C Ride offers a more moderate workout than the other Alto Velo rides (although a workout it is). Group riding skills & communication in a supportive controlled peloton are emphasized. When not on designated climbs, we aim to keep the group together.
