Ride Start/Finish: Fowler Creek Park on Altia Ave. The weather is cool enough to go back to our DRT route. Jennifer will lead the faster cyclists in front, and I will lead from behind. This is much better than the S.C. Mountain route. It has more "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 6:45 pm. Jennifer will be able to finish before sunset, but I might have to cut my ride short. 04-10-2025 07:30:00 04-10-2025 09:30:00 6 ACTC: Summer Fitness Series 97.2 mi, 5 LM , 13,422 ft: *** Note the 7:30 AM starting time *** Ride Start/Finish: Fowler Creek Park on Altia Ave. The weather is cool enough to go back to our DRT route.

RIDE CHANGED DUE TO CRISSY FIELD CLOSURE Meet at 8:45 AM at Shoup Park to sign in for a 9:00 AM rollout. We’ll warm up with a serene morning climb up Page Mill Road. From the summit, we’ll swoop down Alpine Road and roll into Pescadero before turning north on the classic Stage Road toward San Gregorio and Highway 1. After a short, breezy stretch along the coast, we’ll turn inland and ascend Tunitas Creek—a climb that’s as close to a spiritual experience as cycling gets, winding through cathedral-like redwoods. From there, it’s a joyous descent down Kings Mountain Road into Woodside, and an easy spin home along Foothill Expressway back to Los Altos! 11-10-2025 09:00:00 11-10-2025 11:00:00 6 ACTC: Page Mill, Pescadero, Tunitas 66 mi, 4 M , 7000 ft: RIDE CHANGED DUE TO CRISSY FIELD CLOSURE Meet at 8:45 AM at Shoup Park to sign in for a 9:00 AM rollout.
