Progressive wkend # 3 of 6 on Saturday - New location due to heat - Cull Canyon
2019-08-24 09:00 | San Leandro BART, 1401 San Leandro Blvd, San Leandro, CA, 94577
Due to inland heat upwards into the 90’s, a change for cooler options moves this ride to Cull Canyon instead of Sunol Ohlone Park. New details below.
2/L/30 miles
Join me on a small group progressive which began on Aug 10 & 11
Tour the Bay Area and see what’s in our own backyard.
Most rides will start from San Leandro.
If you missed a ride, no worries. Feel free to hop into the program at any time.
Note:
Each ride is gradually longer in distance and the terrain will become more challenging. The goal is to build endurance to ride 40 miles and prepare some on upcoming events such as the Waves to Wine (43 & 42 miles back to back) or the Tour De Fuzz.
If you can only ride Saturday’s or Sunday’s? No problem.
There will be ride offerings for both days for 6 wks so that you can do one or the other or both pending your personal goals.
Meet 9:00 am at the San Leandro BART station. This ride rolls at 9:15 am.
We’ll be riding through parts of San Leandro to a scenic road in Castro Valley called Cull Canyon. This is a gem. A 6 mile pastoral road to a dead end and a popular road used by cyclists. The rolling terrain and gradual climb to the end of Cull Canyon is a good road for training. On other days you can do 12 mile hill repeats from the staging area.
Bring water, snack and $$.
