AV-B March 21, 2026 - Palo Alto to Cat’s Hill

Hi all,

The AV race team is competing in Cat’s Hill this Saturday and we will make our annual pilgrimage to the race to support them.

Starting at Summit in Palo Alto. We will meander a bit and then go up Redwood Gulch.
Those racing folk do one super short hill ~30 times so we can do one medium length climb once. It evens out in the end.

P.S. Read the ride rules on the Alto Velo website, sign your yearly waiver if you’re a non-member etc etc.
P.P.S. Plz don’t cross the double yellow. The mustard on the road stops you from turning into ketchup.
