We are now in Summer peak training season. No more climbing for a while. We'll focus on speed and distance. I am moving back the start time so that we can escape the mid-day heat after 3 hours of all-out rides.
There will be a mix of Vaxed and non-vaxed riders. For non-vax riders, please stay 6 ft away from others and put on mask when in group chat settings. Vaxed riders can now follow CDC guidelines and be "free".
Ride start: Lucky’s North Parking Lot arrive by 8:00am, roll at 8:15am sharp (Led by Vincent), please call or text me if you are late. 408-480-9933

Standard training ride:
Lucky's warm up thru foothill to Alpine. Then our first individual sprint effort to climb Alpine to the corner of Portola. We'll have a short re-group across from the gas station, then speed down Portola towards Woodside Roberts store. We'll fuel and water up, then individual TT or group train out along Canada to 92. Turn around and head back same TT or group train. When we come back to Woodside Roberts, Optional going thru Sandhill back, or the default way is to head back on Portola, Alpine, Arastradero, Page Mill, Purissima, Robledo, Foothill back to Luckys'.
Optional peel off when returning back to Woodside roberts and go on Whiskey Hill, SandHill back, this will cut off 5+ miles and a few hundred feet.
