Description:
We add a few more hills this week, but nothing terribly steep or long. We'll start by climbing to Foothill College and taking the back way into part of the Stanford Loop. We'll break out of the loop early and head up Mountain Home toward Woodside, and then we'll take the very popular Cañada Road as far as Edgewood, where there's a thrilling descent back down to bay level. From there it's mostly easy as we go back through Menlo Park and Stanford. Total climbing on this ride is about 2,050 feet.
Riders from all over Northern California are invited! Southbound Caltrain from San Francisco arrives at 9:14 a.m.
