Alto Velo C Ride 4/11/26 -A southern & maybe clever Rain Route
Hello AV-C group
It looks disappointing due to the rain forecast. However I will be @ the start and we will see how it goes.
It looks like there may be rain from 9-12 maybe it will get better for an hour or two before turning back on.
The forecast looks bad all over so I’m hoping the southern district will be less wet. Bring your rain gear.
I have called out a relatively flat route aside the climb over the dam & around the rez. Followed by some twists & turns through Saratoga & Cupertino. Not too many I hope.
We will head right to Foothill EXP way then south. Passed the Dam, Saratoga side streets then on Saratoga Sunnyvale Rd.
A left on Daves where we start heading back north through some less familiar Saratoga side streets.
On to Cupertino roads we have done many times.
After our stop @ McClelan park its up Foothill to the finish.
