Alto Velo C Ride Nov 29, 2025 - OLH, WOLH, Emerald Hills and Shake Shack

Hi All,

Last holiday (Halloween) we did a similar ride. We will try to reproduce the fun that we had that day. We will end up at Shake Shack. I wonder how ugly Stanford Mall will be?

Alto Velo C Ride Nov 22, 2025 - Can I get a W in the chat?

Hi All,

The weather looks nice so I thought we’d celebrate with a W-themed ride. We will roll out the usual way before regrouping at Alpine and Portola. From there we will take Willowbrook to Alpine and regroup/wait for everyone at the top. Next we will roll back down Alpine/Willowbrook to Wayside where we will once again regroup at the top.

From there we will head out via trip to Huddard and after the park loop we will regroup at the Woodside Store for water/bathrooms. After winding through the maze we will then do a lap of Cañada College with a regroup at the usual spot at the top. Then we will wander back through Woodside and Mt home (Sorry no whiskey hill) to hit up our final climb(s), Westridge.

Looking forward to seeing everyone,

-Jonathan

Alto Velo C Ride Nov 15, 2025 - Rain Route A, B or C

Hi All,

Forecast for Saturday is 20 - 39% chance of rain thru 2 pm. I was using Wunderground for this information. Based on this, I have proposed 3 routes from which we can choose. They are all listed below.

If it is raining around 8:30 - 8:40 am in Palo Alto, I may not make it but please self organize. I hope to be there.

** Please note our club is banning metal and other HARD plastic bottles (e.g. Bivo, Nalgene, Camelbak steel/titanium, coffee travel mugs) on group rides because they pose a safety risk if dropped. These bottles are rigid and can roll unpredictably on the road, creating a serious crash hazard for riders behind. Standard cycling bottles are designed to compress or bounce harmlessly when dropped. For everyone’s safety, only soft plastic, squeezable cycling bottles are allowed on club rides.

Alto Velo C Ride Nov 8, 2025 - Los Gatos and Beyond

Hi All,

This week we will head south to tackle some smaller climbs near Los Gatos. We will head south to Los Gatos on flatter terrain before climbing Shannon and Kennedy. We will return through the hills of Saratoga and Los Altos before finishing at Peet’s in downtown Los Altos. There will likely be a group that continues north to Cal Ave both before and after coffee at Peet’s. While this ride may be gentler in terrain than some of our recent routes it will make up for it in distance! Come join us!

Looking forward to seeing everyone,

-Brandy

Alto Velo C Ride Nov 1, 2025 - Trick or Treat sponsored by Bike Law

Hi All,

After last week’s wet ride even in the low country, it looks like no rain this weekend. We will venture up OLH / WOLH and then return to Westridge which we haven’t touched in a while. At the top of Westridge, we will turn right and head across and down Cervantes. Now comes the treat part of the ride: new roads. We will head over to Sausal via a small road where we will have to ride around a chain. This will take us up a short steep hill and down to Golden Oak / Alpine. From there it is the back across Arastedero and a few turns to end in up at Manresa.

Thank you, Bike Law.

Alto Velo C Ride Oct 25, 2025 - Modified North Rain Route

Hi All,

I am glad we got the nice ride into San Gregorio and up Tunitas last week. What a treat to have popsicles at the top. This week’s weather looks very different. There is a 30-40% chance of rain between 8 - 10am totally a whopping .03 inches. We will try to avoid that and stay low along the Canada corridor. With that in mind, I am testing a couple new roads in San Mateo and our route will head back through Menlo Park streets. The goal of those roads is to explore and relax. We are heading into the off-season (excluding Cyclocross), and that will allow us to do some new things.

Alto Velo C Ride Oct 18, 2025 - Fall Coastal Classic

Hi All

It’s hard to believe just how quickly this summer flew by - lots of great miles and smiles! Your leadership crew feels we may have limited warm, sunny Saturdays left before the weather changes, so we thought what better way to celebrate a great summer of riding than one more group Coastal Classic?! If you missed our summer outings this is your chance! We will plan on the standard route up OLH, down 84, to San Gregorio, followed by stage, 1, Tunitas and Kings. Then we will roll as a group from Woodside back to Cal Ave where I have scoped out a new coffee shop for us to try called The Farm.

Looking forward to seeing everyone,

Alto Velo C Ride Oct 4, 2025 - RWG, H9 and E84 - Sponsored by Bike Law

Hi All,

Another week, another awesome ride. This week we will head south to ride up the steep inclines of Redwood Gulch (Distance 1.19mi, Elevation Gain 684ft, Avg Grade 10.8%) and then turn right and head to the fire station and water break. Finally this much needed break we will head along Skyline until the top of Page Mill at which point some can head downhill but the official route continues north to Sky Londa and our next official water stop. From there it is literally downhill to Manresa and the awesome pastries brought to you by Bike Law.

Alto Velo C Ride Sept 27, 2025 - Page, 84, WOLH, Shakes

Hello AV Community,

This Saturday we will earn our complimentary beverages by doing things a little differently than usual, tackling the W Alpine Loop essentially in reverse. We will roll out together and warm up the legs as we climb Page Mill. I will personally be climbing at “party pace” to keep the legs fresh, if you get bored/cold waiting at the top do a buddy lap.

Once we are all gathered at the restrooms at the Russian Ridge OSP trailhead, we’ll roll out again together and after a little more climbing take on the long, winding W Alpine descent into flat roads and regrouping once again at the Country Market in La Honda across from Apple Jacks. Then we’ll string out for the long steady climb up 84 until we reach WOLH, and regroup again at Skylonda. After the 84E descent we’ll take Tripp to the Woodside store for our last regroup before hitting the maze and heading to Shake Shack.

See you there!

Alto Velo C Ride Sept 20, 2025 - Native Son & Star Hill

Hi All,

This week we will do somewhat of an exploratory ride. As you know, I try to keep the ride fresh and new as often was we can and this route has likely not been used since pre-Covid. It is a hilly selection but not too long (42mi) with all the climbing done by mile 27. It is downhill from there to Sky Londa and then Woodside.

I am recovering from a heavy cold and 5 days in bed and hoping to make it through the day. My co-leader Brandy will be there to help.

Welcome to this weekend’s C ride! Great job on last week’s hilly ride in the wet! This week we will make our way from Summit to Woodside before climbing King’s and Swett.

Hi All,

Welcome to this weekend’s C ride! This week we will tackle an out and back from Summit to Portola State Park and back. This was a hit last summer thanks to John C’s planning so I thought we should give it a re-run! We will head from Summit up Page Mill, over the top and down the first part of West Alpine before taking a left at the fork and descending down into Portola State Park. With any luck the volunteers will be working and we can purchase drinks and snacks at the store in the park. Bring money for snacks and two water bottles. We will have a long exposed climb out to re-trace our pedals back to the top of Page Mill before descending back to Summit.

Alto Velo C Ride - August 9, 2025 - Local Climbs

Hi All

Jonathan here! It’s my birthday week and while I was tempted to take us up W Alpine, the forecast is looking a little hot for that. So instead you’re going to have to follow me up a silly maze of climbs in our back yard, most of which will be nice and shady. We’ll tackle Altamont, Foothills Park, Wayside, Willowbrook, Alpine, Joaquin, and Westridge. Any similarities to upcoming Egan routes are strictly coincidental.
