Saturday A Ride 9/12/26 Pumpkin Spice Shake Shack

Come ride some beautiful roads in the Peninsula Saturday morning. Sometimes, looping in that shortish, not necessarily convenient for a big ride, but beautiful road or segment I haven’t done in a bit is all the motivation I need for a longer ride. I want to call it adding some spice, but this ride is far from ~spicey~, so let’s call it pumpkin spice. Plus it’s unofficially fall so maybe it fits. I saw a pumpkin carving kit in Safeway on Labor Day weekend which was shocking, so now that my bubble is burst, let’s ring in the fall with some pumpkin spice. Didn’t shake shack have a pumpkin spice shake at one point? Wouldn’t that be the perfect end to this ride.

We’ll head up Kings after weaving through Woodside, and then descend Tunitas to hit little Lobitos Creek loop before a water stop at the Bike Hut. We’ll take 1 and Stage to head up 84 and do WOLH. We’ll get water at Sky Londa, descend 84 to Portola Valley. If you are feeling it, join for an upper Alpine to Joaquin down through Los Trancos, or head straight to Shake Shack where we’ll all meet to end our ride with some grub.

Time: 9:00AM at Summit Bicycles Palo Alto. Roll 9:10AM.
