Henry Coe,Thomas Grade
Cinco de Mayo is tomorrow, and we’re treating this ride like the pre party fiesta—the part where everyone’s still hydrated,still upright,and still pretending they won’t be inhaling guacamole by the bowlful in 24 hours. Thomas Grade — the warm up salsa • Henry Coe — the habanero leg roaster. We’ll regroup at the tops and pretend we’re not already thinking about tomorrow’s tacos. Your leadership duo: • Jamey — steady on the flats, easily persuaded into bonus climbs•Rosemary — the calm, competent copilot ensuring no one ends up celebrating Cinco de Mayo in Gilroy. Expect smooth pavement and the kind of elevation profile that pairs beautifully with tomorrow’s celebratory calories. And yes — if someone whispers “Cinco goat” with the right amount of enthusiasm, I might suddenly remember a climb I “forgot” to list. Come earn your tacos, churros, and questionable beverage choices a day early. 04-05-2026 10:00:00 04-05-2026 12:00:00 6 ACTC: Guac & Roll:Cinco Eve Salsa Spin 27 mi, 5 M , 3438 ft: Cinco de Mayo is tomorrow, and we’re treating this ride like the pre party fiesta—the part where everyone’s still hydrated,still upright,and still pretending they won’t be inhaling guacamole by the bowlful in 24 hours.

This area is very public transit friendly. As usual, if you bring your "sorrisi" (smiles) and "racconti" (stories), we will stop for "spuntini" (snacks). I can adjust my speed to accommodate slower riders. Please bring your tools for any unfortunate events, and check the rides bulletin for any last-minute updates.
