AV-B Ride Dec 13: Moody, Kings & Emerald Hills

Written By Alto Velo

Hi AV-Bers,

The mornings are feeling a bit chilly, so we’ll try to warm up by getting into the climbing as soon as possible, starting with Elena Rd and Moody. From there, we’ll do the standard traverse through Portola, climb Kings, and take Skyline to 92 before heading back on Cañada.

To mix things up a bit, we’ll then detour through Emerald Hills (I’ll try not to get everyone lost, but it probably pays to download the route for this one) before heading back to Palo Alto.

Hope to see you there!
