AV A Endurance - 09/20/25 Big Basin and Bear Creek

Hi everyone,

This Saturday the A Endurance ride is headed to Big Basin! We will keep a steady pace at 2.5-3.5 W/kg on the flats. Feel free to ride the two longer climbs (page mill and bear creek) at your own pace as long as you don’t mind waiting at the top where we will regroup

The plan is to ascend Page Mill Rd then go South on Skyline to the junction at Highway 9. We’ll then descend 9 all the way to Big Basin. After riding through Big Basin we will continue to Boulder Creek with a short stop for water and food at the gas station. After ascending Bear Creek Rd, we’ll go back on Skyline toward Castle Rock for another water stop. We’ll descend Highway 9, and then take Pierce and Mt. Eden to Foothill to return to Summit.

See you there!
