This is a variant of the "Widershins' counterclockwise loop from Mckenzie Park through Stanford and the Westmont area. Many roads may be ridden opposite the way you normally ride them. Some new twists and turns were introduced, including a visit to the Sausal giraffes. Expect a social ride with lots of scenery, ridden at an LM pace (~14 mph on the flats). Full disclosure: you will get your exercise - some of the climbs, though short, are on the steep side.

Meet William Mueller (see below for contact info) at McKenzie Park at 9:45 AM for a 10:00 ride start. Lunch near the end of the ride in Los Altos.

Rain or AQI>100 cancel

With Daylight Saving Time and more daylight, we will be able to resume our full training replica of the Death Ride.

My featherweight Emonda is in the shop, my spare is heavy with higher gearing, uhg, so I will lead from behind and only do the 71-m route. Sunset is 6:06 with Civil Twilight until 6:33 pm.

This is a moderate 50 mile training ride with a few challenging, but not too steep, hills to build endurance for one of the longer Tierra Bella routes. The bigger hills come early in this ride.
After a two mile warmup we will take on the mellow 5 mile climb up San Felipe Rd, then a quiet and scenic out and back on Las Animas Rd before summiting the backside of Metcalf where we'll take a brief rest stop (water/restrooms) at the motorcycle park. We then descend Metcalf and head north, over Hassler and up to a loop through Alum Rock Park. We then head back to the start.

Ride Start/Finish: Fowler Creek Park on Altia Ave. The forecast is cooler today with a high of 80°F, but it's always about 10 degrees warmer in the sun. We are starting at 8 am as we are still getting accustomed to DST. This is our full Death Ride Training Route. Jennifer will lead the faster cyclists, while I am usually last. I changed the route slightly, so update this on your Garmin. This ride has many "bailout" options, especially at the end of the ride. So you can push yourself to your limit and then limp back to the car. Go at your own pace and shorten the ride as needed. Sunset will be at 7:20 pm with Civil Twilight lasting until 7:46 pm. 21-03-2026 08:00:00 21-03-2026 10:00:00 6 ACTC: Death Ride Training 97.2 mi, 5 LM , 13,422 ft: Ride Start/Finish: Fowler Creek Park on Altia Ave. The forecast is cooler today with a high of 80°F, but it's always about 10 degrees warmer in the sun.

This is the 5th of 7 training rides for Tierra Bella Century riders (anyone is welcome to join). Meet at the parking lot just past the Lexington Dam on Alma Bridge Rd for this 70 miles Tierra Bella training ride. There are three possible food stops: Nob Hill or Gayle's bakery @ mile 22; Corralitos store @ mile 42. After Corralitos, there is no provision and very little cellular service, so be self-sufficient! The final food place is the Summit store @ mile 58. Although it's mostly downhill from there, going around the Lexington reservoir at the end is not a cake-walk, especially if out of food and water. 21-03-2026 08:30:00 21-03-2026 10:30:00 6 ACTC: Tierra Bella Training 70 miles 70 mi, 5 LM , 5815 ft: This is the 5th of 7 training rides for Tierra Bella Century riders (anyone is welcome to join).

We'll start at Epicenter Bikes in Aptos and ride to the top of Aptos Creek Fire Road. This is a long moderate incline ride to the top and downhill all the way back. The ride is through very beautiful redwood forests (bring a camera) and is shaded almost all the way. This is more of an endurance rather than technical challenge, so this should be ridable for most gravel bikers. If interested, there are post-ride lunch options nearby.

Tierra Bella -35 Miles of Glory (and Mild Regret) Start location: Coyote Creek parking lot on Silver Creek Valley Road, just west of Piercy Rd. It’s time to tune up those legs and egos for Tierra Bella. I’ll be leading this 35 mile training ride from the front—setting a smooth, steady pace and pretending I’m not checking over my shoulder every five minutes. Meanwhile, Rosemary will be heroically sweeping from the back, making sure no rider is left behind, dropped, forgotten, or mysteriously “taking a long break” in the bushes. Think of her as the friendly but firm caboose of this operation. Expect: • 35 miles of some scenic and not so scenic fun • 2,900+ feet of climbing disguised as “character building” • A front leader who pretends he’s in charge • A back leader who actually is in charge. Come ready to ride, laugh, and get just the right amount of humbled before Tierra Bella. 22-03-2026 10:00:00 22-03-2026 12:00:00 6 ACTC: Tierra Bella 35 Mile Training Ride 35 mi, 4 LM , 2925 ft: Tierra Bella -35 Miles of Glory (and Mild Regret) Start location: Coyote Creek parking lot on Silver Creek Valley Road, just west of Piercy Rd.
