Start/Finish: Almaden Lake Park near the bocce ball courts and restrooms off Winfield Blvd, San Jose. We will climb as much as we can before the Tierra Bella Volunteers Picnic at 12:30 PM.
*** The ride is open to everyone but the picnic is reserved for TB Volunteers and RSVP is required. ***
If you don't know if you can finish the whole ride in time, you can skip as many goats as needed; no need to stress yourself out. Hicks Trio will be the most skippable, but you can even skip Umunhum itself if you are nervous about time. I will have leftover energy bars from Tierra Bella for all riders.
We can regroup at the summits, depending on the turnout and desire for it; we'll discuss prior to ride. All paces and bikes are welcome. Text, call, or email me for any questions regarding the ride.
