Saturday A ride 2/21- Kings - Hillsborough + Emerald Hills

I don’t entirely trust the weather to not turn this weekend, but for now its supposed to be nice and with an odd wind from the south. To make use of that wind we will start our ride on the noon-ride/spectrum route over to Kings. Then descend down to 92 before doing some smaller sharper climbs in Hillsborough and Emerald Hills on our way back. Not really sure what water stops are best, but like old store if we really need it, but more likely it will be the corner of Skyline and Crystal Springs is our first water stop. We will do loops on SkyFarm and Black Mountain Road and work our way back over to Palo Alto. We can get a coffee stop in either on the way back through crystal springs or at Emerald Hills Coffee Roasters.
