Ride Description
Auguste Rodin and the Ancient Redwoods
Few rides offer as much variety as this fun ride brings to the table. Mile 10? Stanford's world-famous Rodin Sculpture Garden. Mile 19 - a hot steamy cup of love, Mile 20-23 EDGEWOOD!, Mile 34 - the amazing Alpine Creek climb, it just gets better, and better, and better. Edgewood is surely the most challenging so far, the climb is all about attitude. It's a two-mile climb that intimidates some riders, but with TRL's there cheering you on and the love bubble of CTZ, you'll be surprised how fun it is to make this climb. At the top of the climb we'll slide down into Woodside and we'll tackle the Portola Loop via Tripp Road. Our second long climb takes us along the beautiful Alpine Creek. From here we'll revisit the Arastradero Preserve - and finish up with some flatter terrain via Central Expressway. This ride has so much stuff to see and do - it's 55 miles of awesome.
