Ride Description

23.9 mi, 6 M, 4733 ft; Aborn,Chaboya,Quimby West,Quimby East,Mt Pleasant,Higuera Rd

Greetings, brave cyclists and unsuspecting optimists.

Join me for a 23.9 mile masterpiece of vertical disrespect featuring six climbs, 4,733 feet of elevation, and absolutely no correlation between mileage and suffering. If you’ve ever thought, ā€œI wish my quads screamed sooner,ā€ this is your moment.

What to Expect

• A route that goes up far more often than it goes forward • Repeated opportunities to question your life choices • Scenic views you’ll appreciate once your vision stops vibrating • A leader who promises encouragement, pacing, and at least one ā€œalmost thereā€ lie.

Who Should Come • Hill lovers • Hill haters • People who enjoy saying ā€œnever againā€ and then showing up next week anyway.

Pace- social, supportive, and occasionally gasping. Bonus: Finish all six climbs and you earn the prestigious title of Elevation Goblin for the day. Start location: Fowler Creek Park at Altia Ave & Cortona Dr -San Jose [Route Link]
