Saturday A Ride 11/8 - LKHC Bohlman

Farewell daylight, old friend. Now that the sun sets earlier, making the most of the weekend rides is even more important, right? This year’s steepest LKHC segment, Bohlman, is our target on Saturday. We’ll keep it easy along Foothill to start, and meander our way through neighborhoods to Saratoga before we begin the climb. Rumor has it, we’ll have a special guest offering SAG for the climb..! After a regroup at the top, we’ll take the brief gravel connector to Montevina, descend to Lexington Reservoir, and head up the beautiful Old Santa Cruz Highway climb. Our primary snack/ water stop for the day is Summit Grocery Store. From here, we’ll take Summit to Skyline and back down Page Mill.

TL;DR - steady to Bohlman, full gas up Bohlman, 0.75mi gravel connector, classic endurance pace the rest of the ride with optional water stops at Lexington Elementary & Castle Rock SP and a snack stop at Summit Grocery Store
