Saturday A-Endurance Sep 14 Orbiting Skyline

Join us for another fun Saturday A-Endurance! We’ll warm up on our way to Los Gatos and then take on the challenging Bohlman - On Orbit - Bohlman climb. You’re welcome to take the climb at your own pace; we WILL regroup at the top.  Then, we’ll carefully traverse the brief Motevina gravel section before carefully descending beautiful Montevina. We’ll climb Black Rd to Gist Rd to Skyline, again at a reasonable pace with a brief regroup at the top.  Once we reach Skyline, there’s a bit more climbing until we reach Castle Rock for a water refill and then all downhill to Page Mill and back to Summit Bicycles. 

As usual, let’s regroup at the top of the climbs and stay together on the flats and descents. Plan to bring two big bottles and lots of nutrition!   There is a long stretch with limited water and services from Stevens Creek to Castle Rock.  If necessary, we can divert to Lexington Elementary. Hope to see you out there!
