AV A-Ride 3/24/2024 - OLH, Lobitos, Tunitas, Alpine Rd

Join us for another fun Sunday A-Ride! The weather forecast shows light rain in the early morning, but no precipitation after 3:00 AM. The roads may be wet, but let’s stick to the planned route unless the forecast dramatically worsens. 

Let’s maintain a steady pace and stay together between the main climbs. Feel free to have fun on OLH, Lobitos/Tunitas, and Alpine Rd. If necessary, we’ll regroup at the top of each climb or fast descent.

The route will take us up OLH and down 84 to San Gregorio. Then, we’ll continue from Stage to Tunitas for a short stop at The Bike Hut to refuel. We’ll then climb Tunitas via Lobitos Creek Cut-Off and descend Kings into Woodside. Next, we’ll head counterclockwise on the Portola Valley loop and climb Alpine Road before heading to Page Mill through Arastradero and back to Summit Bicycles. 

The plan is to make a single stop at The Bike Hut, so please bring two large bottles and plenty of carbs (350g+). Hope to see you on Sunday!

Reminder: The A-ride meets at Summit Bicycles on California Ave in Palo Alto at 9 am Sunday
