AV- C Jan 24th, Kings Mt. WOLH, and West Ridge

Hi All,

This route has some of our classic climbs of Kings Mountain, W-OLH, and Westridge. On the way up Kings Mountain, we will do our typical route through Huddart Park. I called the park today and the ranger said they are still doing construction at our typical restroom stop, so we will have a very short stop at the Amphitheater restrooms, where there is also water. We will then continue up Kings Mountain and then onto Swett. The next stop will then be at Sky Londa for our major regroup. The route then takes us to W-OLH and then over to Westridge for our last climb of the day.

Time: Saturday, gather at 9:00 am, rolling by 9:15 am
Start: Summit Bicycles 
Route: Kings Mt., Swett, W-OLH, Westridge
Regroups

• Major regroups: Sky Londa after Skyline descent from Swett

• Short regroups: Huddart park (amphitheater restrooms), top of Swett, Sky Londa after W-OLH, Alpine & Westridge

Water / restrooms

Alto Velo C Ride Jan 3, 2026 - Another Modified North Rain Route

Hi All,

Before I drop into the logistics, I want to wish everybody a happy New Year. May you go higher, farther and faster in 2026.

Over the last couple of days, I have gone to disappointed to optimistic back to disappointed. It looks like there may be rain at from 8-11 but then it will get better. I have hopes that if we stay on east side of the Redwood City hills we could avoid the rain and get in a ride. Additionally, rain is less likely in San Mateo than Saratoga so the north route seems to make more sense.

Tomorrow is also our Manresa stop sponsored by Bike Law. Another reason to hope for the ride to come together.

We will saunter through Stanford and head north on Alameda. We will then hit some hills that will take us to Crestview. At the far end of Crestview, we will scream down Ralston and head up Tartan Tail / Lakeview and Black Mountain. We will regroup just past the 280 Freeway underpass at the golf course. From there it is a straight shot back to Manresa with a quick adding of the Maze and 85 / Portola to get to Sand Hill.

If it is actively raining, don’t expect to find me at the start. Please wait until 9:15 and start the ride.

Hi All,

Sorry about the late notice but blame the weather. It was hard to tell what was going to happen. We look dry but cool. Dress warm.

Back when we used to have our rides leave from Los Altos, we had a new comers ride called the Peet’s ride. You guessed it. We used to leave from Peet’s in Los Altos. We will tackle 3 climbs (Westridge, Huddard and Jefferson) and end with a special holiday treat (Shakes at the Shack).

Happy Holidays everybody!

Hi All,

“Forecast for Saturday is 20 - 39% chance of rain thru 2 pm. I was using Wunderground for this information. Based on this, I have proposed 3 routes from which we can choose. They are all listed below.” - This was the forecast route and rain from November 5. The last time it rained on the weekend. It has been cold but no rain. However, that looks to be changing. The weather forecast for tomorrow looks rather gloomy and so we will play it by ear.

AV- C Ride Dec 13 RWG and Saratoga to LG the Backway (gravel option)

Hi All,

This route is essentially a two-hill climb. We’ll head south to Redwood Gulch for the first ascent. After that, we’ll take on the climb between Saratoga and Los Gatos. There is a gravel option for this section, and I’ll lead the group through the gravel path. I completed it on 28 mm tires, and 25 mm should also be fine. Please note that there are two routes on the notice.

If gravel isn’t your preference, feel free to load the non-gravel route and meet the group back in Los Gatos. We’ll all regroup at the Los Gatos town center next to the water fountain.

There will be three water stops along the way. Depending on time and group preference, we may take an additional stop at McClellan Park.

Alto Velo C Ride Nov 22, 2025 - Can I get a W in the chat?

Hi All,

The weather looks nice so I thought we’d celebrate with a W-themed ride. We will roll out the usual way before regrouping at Alpine and Portola. From there we will take Willowbrook to Alpine and regroup/wait for everyone at the top. Next we will roll back down Alpine/Willowbrook to Wayside where we will once again regroup at the top.

From there we will head out via trip to Huddard and after the park loop we will regroup at the Woodside Store for water/bathrooms. After winding through the maze we will then do a lap of Cañada College with a regroup at the usual spot at the top. Then we will wander back through Woodside and Mt home (Sorry no whiskey hill) to hit up our final climb(s), Westridge.

Looking forward to seeing everyone,

Alto Velo C Ride Nov 15, 2025 - Rain Route A, B or C

Hi All,

Forecast for Saturday is 20 - 39% chance of rain thru 2 pm. I was using Wunderground for this information. Based on this, I have proposed 3 routes from which we can choose. They are all listed below.

If it is raining around 8:30 - 8:40 am in Palo Alto, I may not make it but please self organize. I hope to be there.

** Please note our club is banning metal and other HARD plastic bottles (e.g. Bivo, Nalgene, Camelbak steel/titanium, coffee travel mugs) on group rides because they pose a safety risk if dropped. These bottles are rigid and can roll unpredictably on the road, creating a serious crash hazard for riders behind. Standard cycling bottles are designed to compress or bounce harmlessly when dropped. For everyone’s safety, only soft plastic, squeezable cycling bottles are allowed on club rides.

Hi All,

This week we will head south to tackle some smaller climbs near Los Gatos. We will head south to Los Gatos on flatter terrain before climbing Shannon and Kennedy. We will return through the hills of Saratoga and Los Altos before finishing at Peet’s in downtown Los Altos. There will likely be a group that continues north to Cal Ave both before and after coffee at Peet’s. While this ride may be gentler in terrain than some of our recent routes it will make up for it in distance! Come join us!

Looking forward to seeing everyone,

Alto Velo C Ride Nov 1, 2025 - Trick or Treat sponsored by Bike Law

Hi All,

After last week’s wet ride even in the low country, it looks like no rain this weekend. We will venture up OLH / WOLH and then return to Westridge which we haven’t touched in a while. At the top of Westridge, we will turn right and head across and down Cervantes. Now comes the treat part of the ride: new roads. We will head over to Sausal via a small road where we will have to ride around a chain. This will take us up a short steep hill and down to Golden Oak / Alpine. From there it is the back across Arastedero and a few turns to end in up at Manresa.

Thank you, Bike Law.

Alto Velo C Ride Oct 25, 2025 - Modified North Rain Route

Hi All,

I am glad we got the nice ride into San Gregorio and up Tunitas last week. What a treat to have popsicles at the top. This week’s weather looks very different. There is a 30-40% chance of rain between 8 - 10am totally a whopping .03 inches. We will try to avoid that and stay low along the Canada corridor. With that in mind, I am testing a couple new roads in San Mateo and our route will head back through Menlo Park streets. The goal of those roads is to explore and relax. We are heading into the off-season (excluding Cyclocross), and that will allow us to do some new things.

Hi All

It’s hard to believe just how quickly this summer flew by - lots of great miles and smiles! Your leadership crew feels we may have limited warm, sunny Saturdays left before the weather changes, so we thought what better way to celebrate a great summer of riding than one more group Coastal Classic?! If you missed our summer outings this is your chance! We will plan on the standard route up OLH, down 84, to San Gregorio, followed by stage, 1, Tunitas and Kings. Then we will roll as a group from Woodside back to Cal Ave where I have scoped out a new coffee shop for us to try called The Farm.

Hi All,

Another week, another awesome ride. This week we will head south to ride up the steep inclines of Redwood Gulch (Distance 1.19mi, Elevation Gain 684ft, Avg Grade 10.8%) and then turn right and head to the fire station and water break. Finally this much needed break we will head along Skyline until the top of Page Mill at which point some can head downhill but the official route continues north to Sky Londa and our next official water stop.

Alto Velo C Ride Sept 27, 2025 - Page, 84, WOLH, Shakes

Hello AV Community,

This Saturday we will earn our complimentary beverages by doing things a little differently than usual, tackling the W Alpine Loop essentially in reverse. We will roll out together and warm up the legs as we climb Page Mill. I will personally be climbing at “party pace” to keep the legs fresh, if you get bored/cold waiting at the top do a buddy lap.

Once we are all gathered at the restrooms at the Russian Ridge OSP trailhead, we’ll roll out again together and after a little more climbing take on the long, winding W Alpine descent into flat roads and regrouping once again at the Country Market in La Honda across from Apple Jacks. Then we’ll string out for the long steady climb up 84 until we reach WOLH, and regroup again at Skylonda. After the 84E descent we’ll take Tripp to the Woodside store for our last regroup before hitting the maze and heading to Shake Shack.

See you there!

Alto Velo C Ride Sept 20, 2025 - Native Son & Star Hill

Hi All,

This week we will do somewhat of an exploratory ride. As you know, I try to keep the ride fresh and new as often was we can and this route has likely not been used since pre-Covid. It is a hilly selection but not too long (42mi) with all the climbing done by mile 27. It is downhill from there to Sky Londa and then Woodside.

I am recovering from a heavy cold and 5 days in bed and hoping to make it through the day. My co-leader Brandy will be there to help.
