A Endurance Ride 2.24.2024 - Soda Springs and Black Rd

Hello riders, we are taking a trip down to Lexington Reservoir! We'll warm up with Eden and Pierce, and once we get past the gravel and arrive at the reservoir we'll hit Soda Springs and Black Rd, and then we'll keep climbing along Skyline and end with a nice descent down Page Mill.

Water stops at Saratoga, Los Gatos (maybe), and Castle Rock. Ironically there are no water fountains around the reservoir, and there isn't even soda on Soda Springs so please bring two big bottles. We will keep a steady pace at 2.5-3.5 W/kg and regroup for all riders.

See you there!

Richard
