Ride Start: Upper parking lot of the Lexington Elementary School in Los Gatos. Today will be a short but sweet training for the Carmel Valley Double, as I am busy juggling vacation plans right now. We will do our Summer Fitness Route in the Santa Cruz Mountains as it has most of the climbing of the CVD. If you are still thirsty for more punishment at the end of the ride, you can still pick up Montevina, Aldercroft, Soda Springs, or any of the goats in the area. Combine this ride with our Sunday ride, and the back-to-back training will get you to a good place for the CVD. Jennifer will lead the faster cyclists in front. Melanie will lead from behind. Dzung's CVD is 2 weeks away, so stay strong! Start location: Lexington Elementary School, Los Gatos, CA [Route/Map]
