AVB 7/19 - Coastal Classic to 84

Hi AVB,

This week we’ll be doing the Coastal Classic with a small twist to allow everyone to have one last shot at the Bike Hut Classic! This ride includes free popsicles and free pizza (to all AV members), so what else could you want on your Saturday??

We will start on the normal Coastal Classic route with a quick regroup at Portola to make sure we are all together. Then it’s up OLH to a full regroup at Skylonda. Have your fun with your friends safely descending 84 until Apple Jacks for a very brief regroup prior to the flatter section of 84. We will then head to the Bike Hut where you can drop your bottles with a friend and give your best attempt at the Bike Hut Classic segment.

I think you should go for it on the segment because it would be pretty cool to have your name on the plaque inside the Bike Hut for all the cyclists of the bay area to admire. I, however, will be slowly climbing Tunitas because the women in the 30-39 age group in this area out of my league. If you need a friend to pace you, find me and I will happily help seek out your domesitque! Expect popsicles on the top of Tunitas from Moss and Wander, complimentary to all AV members.

After you have emptied yourself on Tunitas, we will turn right on skyline and head back to Skylonda for a final full regroup. We will then descend east 84 and head to Peer’s Park for pizza, complimentary to all AV members. This route should hopefully allow both the B and C ride to finish around a similar time.

Hope to see you out there!
