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.

Meet in the west church parking lot, corner of E. Hamilton Ave on Leigh Ave, San Jose. We will ride up the San Tomas Aquino Creek trail, do a loop on the levees and return via the Gaudalupe River Trail. About 9 miles of this ride are on hard-packed dirt but easily ridden on standard road bikes. The first mile of that section is usually the worst, so an early turnaround is an option if it's too rough or muddy. Shorebird sightings, salt pond views and the ghost town of Drawbridge are typically impressive. Regroups as necessary and as always, no one left behind. Optional food and drink at the Pruneyard less than a mile from the start. 18-05-2026 10:00:00 18-05-2026 12:00:00 6 ACTC: Mixed Terrain - Alviso Levees 38 mi, 1 LM , 414 ft: Meet in the west church parking lot, corner of E.
