AV-B Ride June 6th: Manresa via Kings, Hillsborough and Joaquin

Written By Alto Velo

AV-Ber’s,

It’s time for some delicious Manresa pastries again, generously provided by our sponsor, Bicycle Law. To work up an appetite, we’re going to climb a few hills first though, starting with Kings. We’ll then make our way along Skyline, descend eastbound on 92, and head North towards Hillsborough. After looping around Crystal Springs and Polhemus Rd, we’ll then drop down Crestview, which is steep enough to keep things interesting and confirm that your brakes are not merely decorative. Finally we’ll tackle Alpine Rd and, saving the best for last, Joaquin. Hope to see you there!

Non-members are always welcome, but please complete the waiver once a year.

Please make sure to familiarize yourself with the ride rules as well.
