Saturday A-ride 7/26 - Mt. Umunhum and Shake Shack

Written By Alto Velo

Hi all,

I’m inspired by the latest mountain stages at the tour and built up an appetite for a ride with some tough climbing. So this week we will climb up Mt. Umunhum! It looks like the weather is good for it too, as it won’t be too hot. Since it is also our monthly Shake Shack ride, you can have that in your mind as you go up those steep grades :)

We will have a couple water stops along the way: Skyline fire station, Los Gatos trail (make sure to fill up here, as there is a good way and a mountain before the next water), New Almaden and somewhere in Los Gatos/Saratoga on the way back.

I’m aiming for a steady 3-3.5w/kg but feel free to go as hard as you want on the climbs — otherwise, we will keep the group together.
