3,2 or 1 Hills For Spring Training

This ride is to accommodate riders training for centuries or the death ride as well as less ambitious riders. The ride does 3 hill rides in one and there are 3 routes. The ride comes back past the start at about 25 miles so that it is easy for riders doing only the first 25 miles to drop off.

The first loop is an Arrowcreek loop where we take Lakeside, Thomas Creek and Foothill as a warmup and climb up Stoneybrook, Edmunds, Twin Oaks, Thomas Creek, and Rock haven and take the bike path into Arrowcreek. We then wander through Arrowcreek going to the top. We then descend High Vista and Arrowcreek Parkway, and Ventana. We then return to the start on Lakeside.
