Sunday A-Ride: NOTE- NEW START TIME IS 9:00 -Daylight Savings TimeDate: May 11, 2008
I may NOT be there to lead the ride. Maybe Pete Heller or John Franklin can lead the ride. If not, try to keep the ride together. Kevin WHAT, WHEN, WHERE: The Sunday AV "A" ride meet's at Peet's Coffee and Tea on State Street in Los Altos at 9:00 each Sunday, with or without its fearless leader. Foul weather changes everything. Departure time is 9:10. Get there early for a cup of java. ROUTE: Foothill, Page Mill, Arastradero, Alpine, Portola, 84, Tripp, Kings, 35S, 84W, Pescadero, W. Alpine, 35N, 84E, Portola, Sand Hill, Foothill to Peets. REGROUPS: Top o' Kings, Water at Skylonda, 35 and W. Alpine, Skylonda, Peet's. RIDE ETIQUETTE: Be kind, at least for the first few miles; in other words, please ride at an accommodating pace until people get warmed up. If you're able, help people with mechanicals. If you see a mechanical occur, RELAY THE MESSAGE TO THE FRONT; wait for the victim at next regroup. Regroup after big climbs-approximately 10 minutes of waiting after the arrival of the first person would be appropriate. Paceline on the flats when possible. Introduce yourself to new riders. If you're a new rider, introduce yourself to those you find yourself riding next to. RIDE SAFETY: Use your head and use your helmet, please. It's your choice, but it's a no-brainer. Please, please, please, don't forget to LOOK FOR YOURSELF to see if cars are coming if you decide to sprint into the middle of the road. Use all of your senses when riding, and look behind you often. Observe caution on descents; Even when the roads are dry, there are plenty of wacko drivers out there! If this web page is not up to date, check the AV list on yahoogroups for the latest route.
