Aug. 1: Friday Special Edition Whine and Dine Ride
[Photos from previous Friday Special Edition Ride]
This is a 17 mile loop, 5 LM/M ride that features the south (easier?) approach to Hicks.
About the Goat: Hicks Road East The Goat is Rated 5, 1050 ft of climbing, Goat Length 5.3 miles, Goat is Almaden Rd @ McKean Rd to summit.
This ride will start at 6 p.m. at the shopping center located at Almaden Expressway and Camden Avenue in San Jose. (This shopping center also has a Safeway and a Starbucks.)
We will ride south along Almaden Expressway, veering right along Almaden Road, through old Almaden up to the reservoir, right on Hicks then all the way over the top and down to Camden. At Camden we will go right and ride back to the shopping center. There is a good Burrito place, Tacos Al Pastor, there and we will have dinner and beer (maybe more?) after the ride.
If you can’t make the ride please come for the social dinner. Though this is an ACTC ride, because it was not listed there will be no goat or mileage credit for the ride.
