AV-A Ride Sunday Apr 27 - Reverse Gazos

Berkeley Hills RR is the day before, so we’ll keep the ride compatible for those racing the day before and those still building up fitness. We’ll mostly ride together at endurance pace, let folks climb however fast they choose, and regroup at the top of climbs. The route is a bit of a figure 8 to Pigeon Point light house and back. We’ll head up Page, down West Alpine, skirt to 84, take Stage to Pescadero for a water & bathroom stop. We’ll take Bean Hollow out to 1 south and loop back via Gazos Creek and Cloverdale. We’ll be sure to take it safe on 1 and enjoy the view. If need be, we’ll hit Pescadero again for a quick water stop, ride up Pescadero Creek, climb Haskins from the backside, ride up 84, and enjoy a final hit up the best road in the Peninsula, West OLH. We’ll regroup at Skylonda and cruise back to Summit via 84, Portola, and Alpine.
