Dirt Alpine and Russian Ridge sunrise before Alice’s Restaurant’s monthly breakfast buffet for the first time. I don't know how I never heard about it before. Thanks to Catherine enlightening us! First time riding ALL the steep parts of Dirt Alpine - have never been able to do the steep part after the little creek crossing before since I always got off my bike. Russian Ridge was just gorgeous. Clear blue skies and, bonus, they put down fresh gravel and graded the ridge trail so it’s nice and smooth! First time doing the north end of Ridge Trail in this direction. It's much nicer going this way. The line was pretty long at Alice's. Looked like half the people there were cyclists, and of the cyclists, it looked like half of them were from Stanford. :) Breakfast was good but West Point Inn's pancakes and sausages are better. Awesome morning!
