AV-B Ride Sept 12th: OLH, W Alpine, Shakes

Written By Alto Velo

Hi AV-Bers,

It’s time for our (checks notes) August Shake Shack ride. Hmm, that doesn’t sound quite right but we’ll take the free drinks regardless. To get there, we’re going to head out through Westridge and up OLH then come back via West Alpine. We’ll also toss in a Haskins out and back and a few less common connecting roads on the way to keep things interesting. Here’s hoping that the forecast for a dramatic cooldown for the weekend holds as it’s been way too hot this week.

We’ll stick together on the flats - the little that there is as the route is mostly up and down. We will regroup at the top of each major climb and the bottom of each major descent.
