Sunday October 11th Low-key ride
8:30 SHARP 45 miles F-2
Race Team Ride #2
On roads where we can do an easy spin and practice some rotating pacelines. Niles Canyon to Sunol, Calaveras road to the bottom of the Calaveras climb where U-Turn (at Geary Road) and then to Pleasanton via Happy Valley and back to Sunol by way of Foothill Road. This will be followed by a steady noodly climb of Kilkare and then back to Niles. Note that according to Caltrans, the canyon will be closed to motorized vehicles, so we will be sharing with more bicycles, walkers and maybe even horses.
All race team members are requested to wear their latest team uniform.
Rain will stop play. No stopping but minimal regroups at the top of the climbs and at the u-turn on Calaveras, no dropping.
Start from the Niles Parking Lot next to Niles Plaza Park, on Niles Boulevard, opposite ‘H’ street.
Bring $$$ for post ride refreshments at the Niles Cafe
