Mountain Bike Ride

Tyler said, “The temperature for tomorrow is predicted to be 83. I think it should be a good day for a ride. I plan to be and hope you will too.”

The Tuesday Whine and Dine road rides

Quick Spinner Road Ride

Ted said, “We are going to do hicks and might come back around the backside if there are any takers.  I don’t have a route sheet but will do regroups on top of all climbs and will ride as a group if we go around the back side. See you tonight.”

Mellow Road Ride

Mellow Ride – Kennedy, half Hicks and Shannon:
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!

Hike?

No information is available at time of this posting. Will update this post when information is received. Please check back later right here on this blog. Please do not call me about this hike. I have no more information than is posted here. I am not leading this hike.

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.

Alcohol and Los Gatos Whine and Dine Rides

Please note: Any eating of burritos and/or possible consumption of alcohol will occur after the Whine and Dine rides. Consumption of alcoholic beverages, including possible brewskies, will not be occurring on the ride, only after!

Please drink responsibly.
