Ride Description

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


AV-Ber’s,

It is with a heavy heart I post my last ride lead for awhile. My work schedule is changing and I’m probably not going to be available for the group ride. Not forever! Just not regularly for now. So I hope to see a lot of faces this Saturday - remember it’s FREE COFFEE AND PASTRIES AT MANRESA DAY!

Yes this Saturday will be Manresa Saturday. Miles with Bicycle Law will be sponsoring us and if you haven’t met him make sure to say hello and ask him how he helps cyclists who need guidance and representation. This weekend we’ll head up Old Reliable, I mean Old La Honda, and regroup at Sky Londa. The we will continue north on Skyline and turn left to descend Tunitas. After a quick regroup at The Bike Hut we’ll take a short stint on Highway 1 to Stage Road and then turn left on 84 and start the climb back up the hill. This is a long, low angle climb so let’s stay together so we’re not all fighting the wind on our own. We’ll make that right on West Old La Honda to climb that and do a final regroup at Sky Londa again. After descending 84 we’ll make a Beeline (Ha-Lol) across Sand Hill to Manresa Bread and thank Miles for the post ride snacks!

Forecast is saying low 80’s by the time we finish the ride and low 70’s on the ocean side of the route. Should be dreamy if we get a breeze over there. 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.
