B Ride

Alto Velo's B Ride peloton consists of former riders who have retired from racing, up-and-coming riders who enjoy a challenge and strong riders who enjoy camaraderie. Based on the principle of getting outdoors and seeing and doing some cool things, this ride is meant to be challenging but doable. Mostly a no-drop ride, we average 50 miles per ride.

Start: Saturdays 9:00am from Summit Bicycles at 392 California Ave in Palo Alto, rolling at 9:10am. New riders welcome!

Pace: Moderate and sometimes fast. If you're at the front early on, know the route and please look back to see that the group is together (three souls gasping for air is not considered a group). Paceline when possible, wait at the top of longer climbs

Regroups: We regroup at the top and bottom of hills and recover after every climb

25: Cat’s Hill from PA

NOTE: This is the only AV ride Saturday leaving from Summit Bikes in Palo Alto

B ride will also be heading to Los Gatos to support all our awesome racers at Cat’s Hill this week. We will head up Page Mill and take Skyline all the way to Summit and then on the trail past the reservoir to land us at the race course. Stay and cheer as long as you like and it will be a leaderless roll back on flat roads to the start.

The ride is subject to Alto Velo's Ride Rules (read them!).
