Alto Velo C Ride Feb 7, 2026 - Villa Montalvo and Stevens Canyon presented by Bike Law

Hi All,

I am going to start sandbagging the earliest in history: the day before the ride. I am recovering from my accident 5 weeks ago. I am on my heavy gravel bike. My back and neck still hurt. I could go on but you get the idea. I will need all of your help this weekend to keep the ride together on the designated route.

With my handicaps (I am slowly improving), I have designed a route with less long climbs and just a couple new roads. We will head south to Saratoga via McClellan Park and will go for a short route up to Villa Montalvo. We will turn around and head back up H9 before Eden and Pierce and then back through LAH.

** This Saturday is the best because we have Miles hosting us at Manresa in T&C Palo Alto after the ride. Stay with us to the end and get free coffee, matcha lemonade and pastries.
