Peggggy said, “I’m gonna suggest Hicks and Reynolds.”

No Route Sheet Offered

Mellow Ride – Kennedy, half Hicks and Shannon:

Be Green, Print Your Own Route Sheet

I am only printing a few route sheets to conserve paper. Riders are encouraged to print your own route sheets before the ride. This is the only way you can be sure to get a route sheet. I am tired of wasting so much paper.

3 LM/M 17 mi +

This ride has some not so mellow Hicks and Loma Almaden options.

Shannon/Kennedy and half Hicks, other half Hicks and/or Loma Almaden Optional, 3LM, (5 and 6 M optional), [Route Sheet Here] This ride can be easy, or very hard, depending on how it is ridden. Today’s ride offers various paces and grades. The easier option offers Kenndy and Shannon (3) and the not too steep part of Hicks. If you want to do the hard options, you will need to shoot out of the gate to get all of Hicks in before dark. If that is not hard enough, very hard core riders choosing this ride may want to do all of Hicks (5) and maybe even Loma Almaden (6).

Note the route sheet lists the climb to the top of Hicks but this days ride mellow component turns around at the switchback before the hard climb starts. But, the rest of Hicks and Loma Almaden are “for credit” options. If you want to do the option(s) be prepared for a longer and a challenging ride. You may want to bring lights. This week you can be both studly and/or mellow! If you plan to be studly, please do it with a buddy!

Friend ride memories

Bicycle club rides are great (and I even love riding on my own) but what I especially love is just getting together with friends and going for a bicycle ride. Here are some photos from a couple of recent fun friend rides:
