Billy Goat. . . . . . . . Various
This ride will be led at a real LM pace, not even a little faster. My
philosophy about this ride is that we have a short amount of time on Earth, so
why not stop and smell the roses. Usually expect at least 4 regroups and nobody
to be left behind. We will eventually do most of the goats in the Los Gatos
area, just not too many at a time. We will usually do the same goat as Tyler's
WnD ride. Both rides are social. We will do some sixes, but not the hardest
sixes. Route sheets provided on-line at the website and at the ride. Meet at
Summit Bikes on Main Street in Los Gatos, across the street from the Los Gatos
Library. Rain or intense heat cancels. Burritos after. Be there around
six-ish, we roll around then. Ride posted at:
