Rides

These rides are open to all-comers. They are not run or sponsored by Peninsula Velo, but many club members choose to participate in them. A word of warning - more often than not a newcomer is challenged by the pace. Don't be discouraged though! If you get dropped there's plenty of great riding along the route and you can get back in with the pack when it comes around the loop and heads north on Canada Road. Heck, we all got dropped when we started doing these rides!

All rides start at the north end of Canada Road by Highway 92.

Saturday - 8:15am
"re-group" ride

This ride regroups at the Woodside Bakery after the warmup along Canada Road. After riding counter-clockwise around the Portola Valley loop, there's a final regroup at the Chevron station on Woodside Road, immediately after turning off Whiskey Hill Road.

8:30 am First Saturday of the Month
"No Drop" group ride - moderate pace - 2-3 hours
Ride starts and finishes at the intersection of Canada Road and Highway 92. This ride strives to go slower (and longer) than the 8:15 group ride. Group will wait for dropped riders and riders with mechanicals. Route varies, but a typical ride would be through Woodside, Portola Valley and down along Foothill to Stevens Creek Reservoir and back.

9:00 am Saturday
Women's ride - moderate pace - 2 hours
This ride starts at the intersection of Canada Road and Runnymede in Woodside. The route of this ride varies.

Sunday - 8:00am
"no-wait" ride - very fast pace

Same route as the standard Saturday ride WITHOUT any regroups.

Tuesday and Thursday - 6:00pm
"no-wait" ride - VERY fast pace

These rides occur April through October, when daylight savings time is in effect. Note, this time span largely coincides with the Racing Season. These rides are very fast paced with a great deal of aggressive riding.

On Tuesday night, the ride turns east off Canada Road onto Woodside Road and continues around the Portola Valley loop in a clockwise direction. These rides differ from the weekend rides as they're routed directly along Alpine Road instead of along Foothill, Page Mill and Arastradero Road. On Thursday, the route is the same as the Tuesday ride except in the counter-clockwise direction, by turning west onto Woodside Road.
