AV-B Ride Feb 21st: Los Gatos to Morgan Hill
AV-Ber’s,
No rain on Saturday?? We’re finally doing it! I’ve been wanting to get us on this ride since December!
Many of you have commented that you want occasional rides to different locations so this Saturday we start from Summit Bikes LOS GATOS. I have kept the ride normal length and short on climbing because I assume a few people might choose to ride to the start. But don’t think that means we won’t get a workout in because after warming up on Kennedy we are headed up Norths Hicks!! We will descent South Hicks and head to McKean. If anyone hasn’t been on McKean, think Cañada but faster! We will take a proper coffee stop at Coffee Guys in Morgan Hill then loop back around to McKean. On the way back we will take Shannon for one last climb BUT… if anyone thinks 4,000 feet isn’t enough there is a 1,000 foot climb less than 1 mile from the bike shop and I will turn with you and climb Aztec Ridge. Hope you like the steeper than steep stuff.
I’m assuming I’m not the only one missing rides this week because of the rain so I’m really looking forward to Saturday! There are also some great small climbs and rollers on this route I know many of you have never ridden and I can’t wait to show you how awesome they are. See everyone in Los Gatos!
