Join Ambassadors Josh, Sara, Tyler, Olivia, and Nick M for one of GGTC's favorite routes! It's still early in the season so no need to use the afterburners, we'll have a fast (w/ Tyler & Nick!) and a moderate group (w/ Olivia & Josh!) so pick your poison. The fast group will be a drop ride, but we'll work together and keep the pace reasonable and if you get a mechanical you can't fix of course we'll be there to help out! If you've been meaning to join a faster-paced ride, this is a great way to test one out. On the way back, we'll stop at Fairfax Coffee where you can grab a coffee, or you can continue rolling to be #Home-by-lunch.
Bonus Summit Series Climb: Detour before Camino Alto to test yourself on the legendary Christmas Tree Hill, one of the steepest 1.3mile climbs in the Bay Area. With an average gradient of 13.3% (and pitches of +30%), you'll be glad for any extra fuel!
