Welcome!
Welcome to the Different Spokes Spring and Summer Classic Ride Series. This year we will be including rides all around the Bay Area, as well as getting together to go to organized events elsewhere, and designating some of our training group rides as part of this series. We live in a beautiful part of the world, and we plan to celebrate it together on our bicycles. We are a warm and welcoming inclusive group of cyclist of all ages and shapes.

The Route
This is one of the many Cañada Road-Portola loop variants. This one includes a jaunt in Los Altos Hills to lengthen the ride. The ride starts along the beautiful Cañada Road and then loops around through the rich folks' enclave of Portola, and returns skirting the edge of Stanford University. We'll add a few rest stops shortly.

Sweeps: No, but regroups and careful attention from the ride leader.
Meeting Place and Parking
Meet at 9:00 a.m. with a ride out of 9:30 am at Upper Crystal Spring Vista Point. There should be lots of parking along the roadside. If you are coming from SF by car, take 280 to exit 34 for CA-35 W toward CA-92 W/Half Moon Bay/Bunker Hill Dr, then follow CA-35, left at CA-92 E, then right on Cañada Rd. The start is right there.
