Alto Velo C (is for Climbing) Ride

The C(ifc) ride happens once or twice a month on Saturdays from October through April. Rides will be announced a few days in advance on the Alto Velo email list and via direct email, drop me an email if you want to receive announcements. We meet at Peet’s in Los Altos at 9:30 and leave at 9:35. The pace should be somewhat sedate on the flats and pretty hard on the climbs. We regroup and recover after every climb; if you can do OLH in under 25 minutes you should be able to keep up. Rides are open to anyone.

To paraphrase Winston Churchill: “If you are going up hill, get going”.
