AV-A ride 3/31 Steep climb, Race to Summit Store, Boulder Creek Hwy9

For the A-ride this Sunday, we will go up one of the steepest segment in the area (it’s aptly named) that brings us to On Orbit Dr. After regroup at the top of Bohlman, we will descend Montevina and enjoy the view around the Lexington Reservoir. We will race up Old Santa Cruz Hwy to Summit Store for a rest stop (whoever gets to the store first will get a drink/snack from me), then head back via skyline and descend Bear Creek to Boulder Creek for another quick stop. We will stay together as a group on Hwy9/skyline on our way back (<4.5 w/kg on the climb). Hope to see you there!

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