    The West Side Hills Ride...   Ride with GPS Map

    Ride Description: The west side hills ride will take the bike path and head out to Sunset Rd.   We will take Sunset to the top, then go over and ride Camino del Cerro to the top.  Lots of hills, with regroups at the top of each road to enjoy the nice views.   There is the option of doing some of the hills and turning around as the front group comes down.

    Suggested C ride option is to skip the climb up Sunset Road and just do El Camino del Cerro.  There is no designated C ride leader and C riders may need to self-manage their ride.

    Bagels and coffee afterwards.
