Some Notes:
If you are an old timer, you know the drill.
If you are new to the group or thinking about doing this for the first time, welcome! The group is fun and a great way to get involved with the club.
Here are some hints and tips:
1. Drive to Lucky supermarket, and park to the back left through the gate. Yes, we know it is confusing, but this is where Lucky wants us to park. See picture above.
2. Generally, the ride starts off moderate, but picks up at the first climb. You don't have to do the entire ride, and we normally regroup at mile 13 when Portola and Alpine meet. This is a great turn around for 26 miler.
3. After the mid-point at 22 milers or so, we'll have a short break at the Water Temple off Canada Road. There will be plenty of tasty water, and a bathroom. Bring your own snack.
4. The group with often split into smaller groups to push home harder. Optional to head North to 92 turn around to add 6 miles to the ride. Make sure to have the course downloaded on phone or bike computer in case you get split from the main group.
5. There is a nice flat 3 running mile loop for a brick run after getting back to Lucky supermarket.
