Sunday A-Ride 4/5/26 - China Grade

Written By Alto Velo

In search of some friends to do a big climbing ride with me on Sunday! I’m going to gauge effort by vibes because I don’t have a power meter right now but aiming for 3-3.5 w/kg type effort for you power dorks. Planning to do some big climbing over towards Santa Cruz, highlights include HWY 9 up to skyline, then dropping down East Zayante road into Ben Lomond, climbing China Grade and continuing up out of Big Basin before dropping down Page Mill to finish.
