Welcome to the South Bay Blaze training rides! These “series” rides are designed to help develop your strength, safety, and confidence while you train to become more ‘road-ready’ without being left behind. All rides in our series are posted at “all pace levels welcome.”
This ride is a day of reckoning to test your skills and fitness so far, as we’ll be doing some climbing today. Don’t be afraid of climbing hills; see them as your strength builders. We’ll begin the day buzzing around the Los Altos hills heading toward the Preserve in Arastradero, up through Woodside toward Redwood City for lunch, then after lunch, begin our climb up the backside of Jefferson Road. After a few switchbacks, we’ll get the reward of fun downhill to Canada Road, climb up Edgewood and fly back down the other side before heading back through Alameda De Las Pulgas. This is a popular route for many and for some, might be their first near-half century this season. A super fun ride.
All skill levels are welcome! If any ride is too much, we will work with you on making sure you have alternatives to the entire route. You will have a great bike ride. That’s a win!
Reach out with any of your questions or concerns. You really can do this.
