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.
