Sunday A-ride - July 7, 2024 - Bike Hut Classic - Be there!
Hi everyone,
It looks like it’s cooling down a bit on Sunday (possibly), so it’s a perfect chance to head out to Half Moon Bay via Kings, Skyline, and 92, and then go for a Bike Hut Classic PR. There are only two major climbs on this one, and most riders will likely take Kings a bit easier (3.5-4.0 w/kg) so that they have a lot left for the Tunitas effort. In any case, let’s regroup at the top of Kings, and then make a quick stop (10 minutes) in downtown HMB, before heading up 1 and left on Tunitas. We’ll briefly stop at the bike hut before hitting the Bike Hut Classic segment (which starts a few hundred yards after the hut). There is a big drafting benefit for the first, flat couple of miles, so let’s get a good paceline going there, and then everyone can go as hard as they want to the top. We’ll pause a few minutes there before descending Kings and heading back to Summit. Should be a fun time and a chance to get a solid Bike Hut Classic time, whether you’re entering the competition or just going for a PR, so I hope to see you there.
