Alto Velo C Ride (King's, Swett, Page Mill) | 46.8 mi Cycling Route on Strava
4.2k' vertical

We live in one of the best places in the world for road cycling and this route includes some of our great roads. Guaranteed fun!

The AV C Ride is subject to Alto Velo's Ride Rules (read them!) and all participants must sign an annual waiver.

Non - Members: Alto Velo welcomes non-members to join us on our ride; however, non-members must have a waiver on file with the club.

Time: Saturday gather at 9:00am, rolling by 9:15am

Start:Summit Bikes - 392 California Ave, Palo Alto, CA
Summit is Alto Velo's sponsoring bike shop.

Protocol:

  • Helmets required, no sudden lateral moves, call out hazards, call out mechanical problems, ride at a steady pace, …, ask for a mentor if you are new to group riding

  • Jam as hard as you like on the climbs, occasionally sprint for fun, soft pedal for an in-flight regroup when we get separated

  • Regroup at the top of every major climb and every significant descent — everyone descends at their own safe speed

  • Pay attention to the regroup locations and don’t pass them if you wish to stay with the group

Bring two water bottles

Regroups: first regroup at the corner of Alpine and Portola (remind me to call out the next regroup at each stop!)
