AV-B Ride Feb 7th: OLH, Skyline to West Alpine, 84 to WOLH, Cañada

Written By Alto Velo

AV-Ber’s,

Last week was so fun! Let’s do it again without the steep climbing, eh?

This week we’ll make a loop up Old La Honda, south on Skyline, down West Alpine, and then back up 84 and West Old La Honda. We’ll regroup after climbing OLH and stay together across Skyline. Doing that should enable us to stay together as one group for most of the ride. There are no steep climbs on the entire route! After a Sky Londa stop we’ll make our way to Cañada for an out and back all the way to Hwy 92 and hit the water temple on the return trip. After that we’ll roll back into town and head to Manresa Bread for some coffee and pastries courtesy of Bicycle Law! Thanks, Bicycle Law!

Forecast looks like low 50’s when we start and low 60’s when we finish. I’m predicting dry roads but Skyline or West Alpine could be damp. Looking forward to seeing everyone again but I promise someone else will lead next week so you don’t get too stale on me/my routes!

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.
