AwesomeAhead! Volume9 Chapter4 – Wide Open Spaces
One of the certainties about riding a bicycle from San Francisco to Los Angeles is climbing. It’s not always straight up and straight down – it’s often what we call “rollers” – or small hills that over the span of the day – certainly add up. Today we’ll ride up into some of the most beautiful open space preserves in the bay area – Arastradero Preserve and the Windy Hill Preserve off of Alpine Road. With 1600 feet of climbing over 31 miles – you should totally be able to do this ride with no issues at this point in the training season.
Reach out with any of your questions or concerns. You really can do this.
