Report

The farthest field trip of the year, Mt Tam did not disappoint, with its punchy climbs and coastal views! A surprise Red Flag warning kept many off the mountain on Sunday, though the riders that did brave the trip on Sunday made it up without incident. Thanks to Oren Levy with Marin cyclists for putting together the group rides!

Andrew and Grant continued to duke it out at the top of the Men’s leaderboard, with Andrew taking the top spot this week, and Grant coming into the second spot with a late entry, and both were able to put their names into the top 10 on Strava.

Louise once again earned the top spot on the Women’s side, with Lily Sanders close behind. Julia Sparrow also had an excellent showing and earned her first podium spot.

Alto Velo continued their dominance in the Team competition, while Partners in Climb brought massive numbers and put themselves in the 3rd spot just behind WEDU / CVC.
