AV-Ber’s,

It’s Shake Shack weekend!

I know. I’m stoked, too. To earn our indulgence we will get a full ride in on this side of the hills but I will try to keep the regroups/stops at a timely pace so we can get to Stanford Shopping Center before too late.

We’ll head around Arastradero and up Westridge for something different and our first regroup will be at the top. After that it’s OLH and a classic Skylonda stop. We’ll rolling regroup after the 84 descent and pass Woodside to Cañada. We’re going to turn on Jefferson for something different again and weave through town and back up Edgewood. We will quick regroup at the top and then ride all of Cañada/Skyline together before regrouping at the very end of Skyline. No need for a Pulgas Water Temple stop! If anyone falls off the back or needs to make an emergency bathroom stop at the Camp Sawyer Trailhead you can always turn off at Crystal Springs Road, cut off part of the route, and catch back up with us. We’ll roll/climb on Polhemus to Ralston and make one last water stop at Waterdog Trailhead. Then we roll across Crestview, maybe do a quick regroup before the descent to Edgewood, and it’s 10 miles of flats all the way to Shake Shack!

Forecast looks to be about 60 at 9am and 75 when we finish the day. Couldn’t ask for a much dreamier day! I know the RideWithGPS file says 5,900 feet but it always overestimates elevation. Strava said 5,500 but was not allowing me to upload the file. I think 5,500 is probably more honest… I haven’t led a ride in over a month so I’m excited to see everyone!

Non-members are always welcome, but please complete the waiver once a year.

Please make sure to familiarize yourself with the ride rules as well.
