Saturday B-Ride:
9:10AM PDT, May 11, 2013
REGROUPS:
Alpine and Portola
Rolling regroup across from Roberts (make sure everyone gets through the stop sign legally)
Top of Kings
Skylonda (usual place) (first time)
Portola and Sand Hill (the "6 foot" stop sign)
Regroups help keep the ride together...
Hammer up the hills if you want, sprint (safely) if you must, but this is a group ride, so let's be nice and try not to break the ride apart...
* If you decide to participate in a sprint, first please do so safely. Afterwards, please ease up -- let the pack catch up to you, rather than force the pack to chase you.
* When leaving skylonda down 84W, make sure the entire group has crossed the intersection safely before picking up speed.
WHAT, WHERE, WHEN: At 9:00 a.m. every Saturday, the Alto Velo "B" Ride meet's at Peet's Coffee and
Tea on State Street in Los Altos.
Ride leaves at 9:10!
RIDE ETIQUETTE: NEW RIDERS WELCOME! Be sociable with new folks. If
you're at the front early on, KNOW THE ROUTE and please look back to
see that the group is together (three souls gasping for air is not
considered a group). Paceline when possible, wait at tops of longer
climbs. Rolling regroups after difficult sections. Help people with
mechanicals if you're in their vicinity, and RELAY the message to the front.
Try to stay together. Let someone know if you are going to drop off
BEFORE THE RIDE or continue to the regroup area.
