Alto Velo C Ride Aug 22nd - Steven’s Canyon and Gravel

Hi All!

I am not sure if you all read the B Ride announcement, but the B Ride is really just an A Ride. Therefore, it has been suggested that the we may have a bigger (faster because we will have B riders?) peloton than normal. I hope everybody keeps this in mind as we do our ride. Remember the C Ride has very fit riders but we can’t produce the watts you all can. We regroup a little more frequently and sometimes a little longer because we try not to drop anybody. Our focus in on inclusion and that means waiting for everybody (within reason).

We will redo a look from earlier that was piloted by John C, and keep the climbs shorter. We will be slightly longer on our rider (47+ miles) but our vertical is also slightly reduced (~3500 feet).

Finally, there is a light gravel section. We did this during John C’s ride but if you choose, there is also a road option that cuts a few miles. We can separate and meet up at Town Plaza Park in Los Gatos.

This is a picture of the road workaround.
