May 25, 2017, Evening WnD Ride

Due to lack of ridership this year, this will be the last regularly scheduled WnD evening ride for 2017. We may do some impromptu rides, but I do not intend to list this anymore. After 18 years as an ACTC ride, this may be the last whine and dine evening ride. In keeping with tradition, we will close with the Bullwinkle ride:

According to my records this ride will be held on what would have been Ted Bonetti’s birthday. Let’s think of him as we do what will likely be the second to the last regularly scheduled Whine and Dine Evening Ride.

There is a Starbucks at the start location with lunch options during the latter part of the ride. The plan is to stop and have lunch on the way back. So either carry something for lunch, or bring money for the return lunch.

WnD Evening Ride, 5/11/17

Sanborn from UnaMas <- PDF Here
Sanborn, be prepared for serious climbing! This is a six, yes a six! This is the one six we do on the mellow ride. It is a very pretty ride and a good workout.

Ride starts: Una Mas Parking Lot; 15724 Los Gatos Blvd, Los Gatos, CA 95032 at 6pm on Thursday.

NOTE: I will not be able to ride this ride on this date for health reasons, but I will be at the start of the ride to sign people in. If riders want to do a different route, I am okay with that.

WnD Evening Ride, 5/4

Shannon First — PDF Here
You have not lived until you have done it backwards. So, this ride is Kennedy/Shannon + Hicks only backwards!

This is a good ride with a very hard option! It can be easy or very hard, depending on how it is ridden. Typically this ride will be various paces. I will be riding at an LM pace and not be climbing all of Hicks. Some of the hard core riders may want to do all of Hicks and maybe even more!

Rides starts: Una Mas Parking Lot; 15724 Los Gatos Blvd, Los Gatos, CA 95032 at 6pm on Thursday.

WnD Day Ride, 5/1

Mt. Eden/Pierce < — PDF Route Sheet

This Beltane (May Day) Edition of the Whine and Dine Day ride will feature Mt Eden/Pierce. 33.5 mi, 2200 ft climbing. Should be an excellent day to ride!

Ride Start is 10 am in the Blossom Hill Square Shopping Center, at Starbucks, 14040 Blossom Hill Road, Los Gatos, California 95032.

Please bring money or a lunch as we will plan to stop on the way back from the ride.

WnD Evening Ride 4/27

Michelle and Dan are going to lead this ride.
