Enjoy some of the most beautiful sights anywhere on the peninsula while riding your bike during Tour de Menlo, the peninsula’s premier recreational cycling event, coming up Saturday, August 23.
With three routes that appeal to all levels of cyclists, the 10th annual Tour de Menlo is expected to attract about 500 riders from all over the Bay Area. A recreational ride, Tour de Menlo offers three picturesque Peninsula routes for cyclists of all abilities, along with good weather, great food, and plenty of SAG support for those who need it.
The ride is co-sponsored by the Rotary Club and the Almanac.
Riders have their choice of 65-mile, 45-mile and 35-mile routes, all well-marked and beginning at Menlo-Atherton High School on Saturday, Aug. 23. After taking different routes from the start, all riders eventually will head south on Stevens Creek Road to the final rest stop at Madrone Park. Riders can rest and enjoy refreshments before heading back to Menlo Atherton High School for a relaxing lunch in the courtyard.
The ride is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Menlo Park Foundation and the Almanac. All proceeds are used to support Rotary scholarships, numerous other Rotary Foundation projects, and the Almanac's Holiday Fund drive, which contributes more than $150,000 a year to 10 local nonprofits. Shelter Network, Second Harvest Food Bank, and St. Anthony's Dining Room are among the beneficiaries of the Holiday Fund.
The 65-mile route is by far the most popular, taking riders up to Belmont and the first rest stop on Polhemus Road. Then, after climbing up to the bike bridge, riders head south to Cañada Road in Woodside and then to the second rest stop at the Portola Road firehouse near Alpine Road.
Riders on the 45-mile route also stop at the firehouse and then both routes circle around to Page Mill Road, with the longer route climbing up to Altamont Road and the others over to Arastradero Road and Los Altos.
All riders meet south of Los Altos as they roll out Stevens Creek Road to the final rest stop at Madrone Park, before heading back to Menlo-Atherton via Foothill Expressway. After riders on the 35-mile route turn south on the Alameda de las Pulgas and Santa Cruz Avenue, they ultimately use Foothill Boulevard and then Stevens Creek Road to reach the Madrone Park rest stop, where the route makes a 180-degree turn to return to Menlo_Atherton High School for lunch.
The 35-mile route is virtually flat but gives riders a good workout. There is also a water stop on Foothill Boulevard at the Los Altos Chamber of Commerce office.
All riders will find fully-stocked rest stops and SAG support if they need assistance out on the course. A delicious lunch catered by Lutticken's Deli awaits riders at the finish at M-A.
Veteran riders please note: Due to a scheduling confllict, registration and lunch for the ride will be held outside the M-A gym, off Ringwood Avenue. Riders should park in the Menlo-Atherton High School Performing Arts Center lot, also off Ringwood.
Entry fees range from $45 to $65 and include the ride, lunch and the official event t-shirt for those pre-registrating by August 7.
Riders may register on day of the event (Saturday, Aug. 23) from 8 to 9 a.m.
The 65-mile ride starts at 7 am, the 45-mile ride starts at 8 am and the 35-mile rider starts at 9 am.
The start line is at Menlo-Atherton High School, 555 Middlefield Road, Atherton CA 94027.
