Sunday, June 28, 2026 at 8:30 AM PDT 201 North Santa Cruz Avenue, Los Gatos, CA, USA About Event Sunday tractor ride. But last week I was really enjoying the little punches along the way, so I doubled down on that. 🚰 Mockingbird 🚰 Chicken Park (off Curie) Ride protocol https://www.losgatosbicycleracing.org/ride-protocol-and-ride-safety/
Another tractor variation, which is to say flatter with paceline opportunities. (But with a very not flat treat near the end, Harwood) Expect about 20mph on the flats Water at Chicken Park and Calero (the nice one, not the horse park) Ride protocol: https://www.losgatosbicycleracing.org/ride-protocol-and-ride-safety/

More Santa Cruz Mountains goodness while the weather is favorable Lots of steep climbing and forested descending; clear lenses recommended Features: Gist, Jamison Creek, and Mountain Charlie Rest stops: Boulder Creek, Skypark You don’t need to be fast. But you should know what you’re in for. Strava: https://www.strava.com/routes/3522825445541976226
Mellow until the steep part of Moody, then regroup at the Skyline junction. Restrooms at the junction; water at the fire station before Saratoga Gap. If it’s hot we can grab water at that little water fountain near the top of Page Mill too. Instead of the full 9 descent, Redwood Gulch to Mt Eden […]

Metcalf via Willow Springs Rest stops at Mockingbird and the top of Metcalf But it’s better to regroup where Metcalf turns into San Felipe after the descent for body temperature reasons
Sunday: Chill Steven's Canyon (Road) https://www.strava.com/clubs/265/group_events/3530441679771050342 Truly intending this to be a beginner friendly ride. I'll be on a gravel bike and plan to do El Sereno afterward if anyone wants to join. That part won't be beginner friendly.
