Ok, let's get this started! I was out riding in Woodside this weekend and drove home down foothill. I came across hundreds and hundreds of riders. And that's just the south bay in early season, I hear the North bay, East bay and other areas are huge meccas of riding as well. Where are you at and what are your favorite rides? What's your Old La Honda time?
Who:
Francis aka 'francois' riding a Colnago CT1. Been riding for 3 years and am based in Saratoga.
Where:
You'll most often find me along the Foothill Expwy artery. From home, I'll do Stevens creek reservoir, Montebello or Pierce. On weekends, I'll make my way to Woodside, Portola Valley
Last year I discovered the Spectrum ride and the Valley ride. I can't believe how many fast riders there are! Riding with Dylan Casey and Eric Wohlberg in the Valley ride is surreal.
Favorite climbs are the lane-and-half roads of Old La Honda and Kings Mountain road. I started last year climbing OLH in 27 minutes. Got it down to 21.5 mins by the end of the season. I better see some 20s this year.
Favorite loops, Old La Honda - Alpine - Page mill is awesome. Old La Honda- Pescadero-Stage-Tunitas Creek is breathtaking. The Mt. Hamilton climb never disappoints.
Goals: race Sea Otter road race, try Mt. Diablo, ride in Marin.
What about y'all??
