Coffee & Cake Ride October 18 2026: Saratoga

The Coffee & Cake Ride makes its triumphant return this Sunday. While Simon is busy with cyclocross season Dirk will take on the leadership mantle. I’m not charmingly British, don’t own a drone, can’t eat three slices of cake, and don’t like tea, but I can talk loudly and lead a leisurely jaunt. Join me for a calorie-positive ride this weekend.

The ride will be an easy paced social ride at below C ride pace giving the opportunity to take in the scenery and chat with fellow riders before stopping at around halfway in Saratoga to enjoy a coffee (or tea) & cake.

Timing wise the expected return to Los Altos Chamber of Commerce will be 12:30 ish with the option of a second cake stop at Manressa in Los Altos.
