This is an easier version of the new Summer Fitness Series, designed to maintain our fitness after The Death Ride. The Santa Cruz mountains will be cooler than the valley, but some sections of this route can get hot. This is still a tough route, so it's not a good ride for beginners. Make sure you bring enough food. There is water along the route, but it wouldn't hurt to carry 2 water bottles. There are simple ways to shorten this route while staying with the group, with ride leader approval. John Hughes invalid@example.com invalid email address false DD/MM/YYYY

After a brief warmup, we climb to Skyline via picturesque Kings Mountain Road. We'll make a brief stop at the Methuselah Tree, then descend Hwy 84 and venture into Portola Valley. Some Westridge back roads climb us up to see the Sausal giraffe statues. A loop through Los Trancos / Indian Crossing gets us back to Portola and then Woodside. Expect a socially paced ride with regroups. Note there is substantial climbing in this ride for the distance travelled.
If this sounds interesting, come join William Mueller in the parking lot in front of the Woodside Town Hall at 9:15 am for a 9:30 launch.
No lunch stop so bring snacks.
