Join us on our final Wednesday night ride of the season. Bring all of the good vibes and let's make it a fun one!

We will meet at 5:45 PM at the front of the store for debrief and to sign a waiver/ emergency contact info. (Rain cancels ride). Wheels roll at 6 PM sharp, so come prepared or come early to air up and gear up!

Route:
New Almaden - 30 miles, mostly flat. Largest climbs will be a) a short but optional steep climb on Vista Loop and b) Camden Avenue immediately after the Coleman Road intersection. We head to New Almaden via Leigh Avenue, Camden Avenue, and Almaden Road where we turn around at Hicks Road. This can be shortened due to the pace of the group and daylight if it becomes an issue. There are waiting spots for those who don't want to go all the way. We will have numerous regroups during the ride.

Regroups:
Almaden Branch Library and Community Center
Almaden Quicksilver Hacienda Parking Lot
McKean Road + Alexis Manor Pl (street corner)
Redmond Avenue + Meadowood Drive (street corner)

Ride Groups:
Rides are split by pace so that riders can choose the speed they are comfortable with.

A Group ("Race Horses"):
16-20 mph average. Wheels roll at 6:00 PM.

B Group ("Community Group"):
13-15 mph average. Wheels roll at ~6:05 PM.
**This group may ride a shortened version of the main route depending on pace

What to bring:
Mandatory for joining our ride is a helmet and bike lights, front and rear. Ideally, also bring water bottles, snacks or gels, some cash, a cell phone, a pump, a patch kit, and an extra tube.

Don't bring:
Listening devices that impair your ability to hear, including earbuds or speakers. This is a group ride, and we want to ensure communication to keep things both safe and social.

Note: It's recommended that riders joining the group ride can comfortably ride an average pace of 15 mph with climbs. Road bikes are highly recommended due to the pace of the group. Riders with hybrid bikes and mountain bikes will have a tough time keeping pace. Riders under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

All participants are required to sign our event waiver prior to joining the ride.
