HillsRUs

HillsRUs rolls weekly on Wednesdays

Route often includes Hwy 9, Page Mill, Old La Honda, Kings Mountain, West Alpine or Tunitas Creek. Always be prepared for variable weather on Skyline. Foul weather in the hills keeps the ride in the valley.

Start location and route announced Monday prior, via wwbc-rides email list and this page (scroll down to the blog).

Meet at 8:45 AM and roll at 9:00 AM departure. DE riders will depart first, C+ will follow.

Ride Leaders rotate weekly - Don Johann, Shawnery Hardin, Jack Jones and Steve Rempel, with guest appearances by Michael Khaw, Gary Virshup, Cathy Switzer, and others.

A selection of routes can be found in the WW Ride with GPS Route Catalog > use tag "HRU".

    It is going to be hot so lets stay on the ocean side.

    Lets do HMB with a bail-out shorter loop. Kings, Tunitas, Lobitas, Higgins and return via Lobitas Cutoff and Tunitas.

    66 miles 6100 ft. Ride Leader Steve Chapel

    The bail out is skip HMB and take Lobitas cutoff to bike hut.
