Saturday January 24 Intensity ride
8:15 SHARP 50 miles from Danville or 65 miles if leaving from Garry’s house F-2
Race Team ride – House of Pain (the HOP ride)
Over the years the HOP has evolved in to three levels, Heavy, Medium and Lite
A joint ride, co-listed with Sempre Strada Duro. This is the classic East Bay mega training ride.
The HOP HEAVY ride is a rolling route south from Walnut Creek (Geary road park and ride) out to Livermore. Can
be a fast one, with plenty of hard attacking sessions. A good ride to check out future competitors.
All race team members are requested to wear their team uniform. Rain will NOT stop play. No stopping.
This is NOT a no drop ride but the Lite ride does have some regrouping, but do not count on it. Total climbing for
the day will be approx. 1500 ft.
Meet at Garry’s house in Dublin for a 08:15 departure for the ‘C’ group doing the Lite or 08:30 departure for
meeting the medium or heavy rides in Danville at Peets Coffee. Official start at Geary Road Park N’ ride rolls at
09:00
Brings $$$ for post ride coffee in Danville Peets
