    Starbucks parking lot ​in the Westmoor Shopping Center in Sunnyvale, corner of Fremont and Mary

The immortal words of his ride description will be retained here, mostly intact. So here we go: Retired, home executive, between jobs, playing hooky? We'd love to have you join us each Tuesday during the year, rain or shine, at the ​Starbucks parking lot ​in the Westmoor Shopping Center in Sunnyvale, corner of Fremont and Mary. The route is a variation of the Portola loop with lunch stops at various eating places in the Palo Alto area. There are hilly C and D routes as well as a flat route. ​All rides meet at 10:45 for a start time of 11:00 am​. The hilly route varies through the month. See the online Events Calendar for links to routes in Excel and PDF formats.

  UPDATE 3/26/21:

  The LDT Weekend originally scheduled for CAZADERO on 5/14-5/16 has been cancelled and replaced with the SIERRA FOOTHILLS LDT in Placerville. 

  Due to the lingering COVID restrictions in effect, we have decided that it is not yet advisable to do an LDT weekend that is primarily a group camping venture for most participants. We've replaced Cazadero with our Sierra Foothills (Placerville) weekend, which is a "hotel" trip. The Cazadero Weekend will resume next year, with a projected date of 5/13/22 - 5/15/22.

  
  LDT FRIDAY RIDE: SUGARLOAF PARK LOOP 

  C-/2.5(1800’)/32

  Come a bit early for the Cazadero LDT Weekend and enjoy an afternoon loop ride from Santa Rosa to Sugarloaf Ridge State Park. The ride includes a steep one mile climb up to the Park headquarters, but this can be easily skipped. This is an afternoon ride that will meet at 11:15 am for an 11:30 am departure. We should be back by about 3:00 pm when we’ll continue on to Casini Ranch Campground, which is about a one hour drive from Howarth Park. This is a social paced C ride. No lunch break, but we’ll stop at a market for snacks/drinks or bring your own. Rain cancels. Online route sheets/maps/gps. See Saturday CAZADERO WEEKEND ride listing for logistics/registration information.

  Join us for this wonderful Memorial Day finish to the LDT ride series. Mt Hamilton is a long, but not steep, climb with wonderful panoramic views and great spring wildflowers. All routes start with a loop through Alum Rock Park, then climb directly to the summit. B riders have separate riding group, but same route and start time/location as C riders. Only the E’s cross over the summit and enjoy the exciting descent to the Isabel Creek Bridge on the back side of Mt. Hamilton, then return to the summit. All groups have lunch at the summit observatory, then descend back to the start. On the return trip D’s and E’s add a beautiful “out-and-back” spur on traffic free Kincaid Road. PACK YOUR LUNCH – NO FOOD AVAILABLE. (Candy/cold soft drinks are available in vending machines.) Be prepared for warm temperatures on the way up and cold temperatures on the way down. Rain cancels. Online route sheets/maps/gps.

  This route takes us to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest (el. 10,100') in Inyo National Forest.  This is a very big day to cycle up to the old wood in the heavens of White Mountain – nice visitor center at the summit surrounded by Bristlecone Pines. The Inyo Mountains are not heavily forested, so you can see the whole thing start to finish and gaze down on the Palisade Glaciers of the Sierra. SHORT/EZ START options meet half way up the climb at White Mountain Road junction. You may be charged a nominal fee to enter Bristlecone - bring money or your NPS park pass. Carry your lunch and a lot of water on the ride – water available for purchase at top.  This ride is co-listed with ACTC.
