AV-B Ride Aug 2nd: OLH, Pescadero Counterclockwise, WOLH

Written By Alto Velo

AV-Ber’s,

Kessler here again! Last week was super fun so thank you to everyone who came out for OLH, Cañada, and the Hillsborough hills before Shake Shack!

This week I felt like staying in the neighborhood again as the weather in our area should be great. But I felt like finding ourselves on a road/direction we haven’t done in awhile. So this Saturday we will climb OLH, descend 84 all the way to Stage Road, and then take Stage south for a nice coffee/pastry stop in Pescadero. I think it’s been awhile since we’ve ridden Stage going south (and the wind should be in our favor to do this as well). To get home we will climb Haskins, then 84, and split off at the top to finish with West Old La Honda. Let’s plan for 3 full stops on the ride and 3 quick regroups.

The ride may look a little mega numbers-wise compared to usual but most of you will know none of the climbs on this route are super long or super steep. Looking forward to seeing everyone again, keeping the group together, and enjoying some coffee on Saturday!

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.
