Here is the Real Deal for Death Ride Training! John and I are doing the AMBBR around Tahoe on Sunday. Since we are in the area, we will practice our Death Ride fitness on Monday, starting and ending at The Carson River Resort. We are renting a cabin. Call (530) 694-2229 for availability. Jennifer will probably lead a DRT here in San Jose. We plan to get an early start, but it is negotiable. Please text or email if you plan to join us so we can make modifications together. The water options are limited, so you will need 2 one-liter bottles.

Meet at 9:15 am for 9:30 departure at the Congregational Church, (west parking lot on Leigh at Hamilton). We'll make our way to the San Tomas Aquino Trail, connect to the Bay and Adobe Creek Trails (great shorebird viewing), and return via the Stevens Creek Trail. This route has about 7 miles of dirt that is absolutely suitable for road bikes with 25s. Parts are a bit bumpy, but very ridable and not necessarily worse than some pavement around. Refresh and refuel at Shoreline Lake mid-ride (optional) and the Pruneyard (<1 mile from the start) after. Note that e-bikes are technically and stupidly prohibited in PA Baylands, but I'll be riding mine. As are all my rides, no one left behind. 09-06-2025 09:30:00 09-06-2025 11:30:00 6 ACTC: Monday Mixed Terrain- Palo Alto Baylands 47 mi, 1 LM-M , 408 ft: Meet at 9:15 am for 9:30 departure at the Congregational Church, (west parking lot on Leigh at Hamilton).

I will lead the slower riders with the early start. Jennifer will list separately, starting at 8 am, for faster cyclists. This route is about as close as one can get without doing the actual DR. The long climbs and climbing per mile are similar to the DR if we analyze the RWGPS data from actual riders, which eliminates the artifacts. This ride has many "bailout" options, especially at the end of the ride. So you can push yourself to your limit and then limp back to the car. Go at your own pace and shorten the ride as needed.

Let’s try this again!
Meet at the Lexington School upper (gravel) lot. We’ll climb OSCH, then descend to Laurel via Schulties Rd. Note that much of Schulties Rd is dirt - 28mm (or wider) tires are probably best, but not necessary. Laurel is the site of an easily accessible tunnel portal from the SPC railroad (~1888 - 1940).
We'll try to leave there on Redwood Lodge Rd, but if the bridge is still out, we’ll return the way we came, using Schulties Rd.
From Summit Rd, we drop to the site of Wrights, another old RR town. After climbing out of there, we'll stop at the Summit store for restrooms and snacks/drinks, then return to the school. Regroups at the top of all climbs and all bike types welcome. Bad air quality or rain will cancel - if in doubt, check the e-list on Monday AM. 16-06-2025 09:30:00 16-06-2025 11:30:00 6 ACTC: Mixed terrain ride to Laurel 26 mi, 5 LM , 3000 ft: Let’s try this again!
