(No, we’re not following the short, out and back glitch on Eva Ave which I haven’t edited out, yet)

This Saturday we’re hill hopping our way south to enjoy (haha) Redwood Gulch before returning. With deep empathy for those of you mourning the end of another Egan season, we are fitting in a few, short climbs between two medium length climbs. Not quite C-gan; we’ll save that for later.

The AV C Ride is subject to Alto Velo's Ride Rules (read them!) and all participants must sign an annual waiver .

Non - Members: Alto Velo welcomes non-members to join us on our ride; however, non-members must have a waiver on file with the club.

Time: Saturday gather at 9:00am, rolling by 9:15am

Start: Summit Bikes - 392 California Ave, Palo Alto, CA
Summit is Alto Velo's sponsoring bike shop.

Protocol:

  • Helmets required, no sudden lateral moves, call out hazards, call out mechanical problems, ride at a steady pace, …, ask for a mentor if you are new to group riding

  • Jam as hard as you like on the climbs, occasionally sprint for fun, soft pedal for an in-flight regroup when we get separated

  • Regroup at the top of every major climb and every significant descent — everyone descends at their own safe speed

  • Pay attention to the regroup locations and don’t pass them if you wish to stay with the group

Bring two water bottles

Regroups: first regroup at the top in Foothills Park (remind us to call out the next regroup at each stop!)
