Description:
From our starting point in downtown Mountain View, we'll head into Palo Alto and past the Stanford campus to pick up the Stanford Loop, one of the region's most popular cycling routes. It starts with a steady but gradual climb to about 600 feet elevation, followed by a nice set of rolling hills and a couple of little climbs on the way back into Menlo Park. We'll return the easy way through downtown Palo Alto on the Bryant Street bike boulevard. Total climbing on this ride is about 1,250 feet.

Riders from all over Northern California are invited! Southbound Caltrain from San Francisco arrives at 9:14 a.m.
