Having problems with message search?
So, I will be driving, and since Dan has driven a lot lately, I owe him a ride, so I will have room for two people and one more bike (my rack only holds 3 bikes). I am trying to convince my wife that she could spend a good amount of time in downtown Saratoga and Los Gatos, as well as having some refreshments for us at the top of Sanborn (end of climb 3 of 5), but no guarantees on support. I will identify all water stops, and downtown Saratoga has a variety of stores.
So, starting the carpool list: Pryor, DRDan, one more rider and bike (assuming my wife comes along). I will also post this on the Forum. Come back at me with carpools; don't assume you can show at Kaiser and get a ride down.
Remember, this is a very difficult ride, but there are bailouts from every climb (it's all centered around downtown Saratoga, and it's easy and straight-forward to get back to the cars at the Argonaut Center). For directions, just google map the following address:
Mountain Mike's Pizza
12850 Saratoga Sunnyvale Rd
Saratoga, CA
We park at the north end of the lot around the side of Mountain Mike's.
