AV-B… Endurance? Big Basin

Written By Alto Velo

AV-Ber’s,

First thing’s first, register for the Alto Velo Picnic on Saturday Aug 29, 3-6pm, Redwood Shelter at Huddart Park!

Now, as for this new category of ride I’ve just made up…

I wanted to go to Big Basin but I can’t lead an A Endurance (DNS - Old) and Ed won’t let me take C ride on an 80 mile route for some reason so… B Endurance it is! Expect this to be at a B- pace at best, it’s a long day out. If you want to create gaps and make people chase wheels go do Spectrum or A ride or whatever. We will stop in Boulder Creek for lunch, a real lunch, like a 30 minute stop, you can do treehouse cafe or the grocery store or the taqueria or the hot dog cart I don’t care but we will set a time to meet back up before we head out again.

Route is clockwise which many will say is incorrect but unfortunately for you I’m in charge. Route is up page, up skyline to Bear Creek, down Bear Creek to Boulder Creek for lunch, up 236, up 9, down page (or down 9 if you live that way and want to go home).

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.
