The Alto Velo Racing Team is recruiting for the 2024 road racing season! Interested in racing your bike next year? You can find our application form here and join us on one of our recruiting rides to get to know the team. We will have multiple recruiting ride opportunities, so if the below doesn’t sound like your kind of thing then stay tuned for announcements for the 10/14 and 10/15 rides!

The Sunday 10/1 recruiting ride will be the typical fast A ride pace: lots of hammering with limited regroups. If you aren’t a 2023 member, you must sign our club waiver linked here so you can participate. We’ll make a beeline for Half Moon Bay over Kings and 92, then cruise the rolling coastal hills of Higgins and Lobitos. The pace will go up once we hit 84 and I expect a full refresh of the segment leaderboards all the way to the top of WOLH. From there we’ll descend 84 and take Portola back home with an optional, longer stop at Alpine Inn for food, drinks, and arguing over who won the townline sprint.

Ride Leader: Cameron O’Reilly

Pace: Fast with limited regroups. Expect the main group to do around 25 minutes up Kings. Make sure you download the route beforehand. Skip Higgins and/or Lobitos and/or WOLH if you fall off the pace.

Stops: Half Moon Bay, Bike Hut, Alpine Inn for post-ride food/drinks
