Saturday A Ride 9/5 - Montebello, Gist

Hello team, I’m tired of going to Pescadero every week so we are going south for a somewhat unusual segment, Gist! First Montebello, then around Lexington Reservoir to Black Rd, then Gist to Skyline to 9 to a lengthy cafe stop in Saratoga.

After making the route and writing this out, Gist doesn’t look like a real word anymore. It looks like if you mistyped Fist. Which is probably what it will feel like at that point in the ride with its 10.3% average gradient, either to your face or somewhere else on the body…
