When
07 Feb 2015
8:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Location
Kaiser Alameda

Ride Leader: Ron

Start: Kaiser 8:00AM

Description: 3D65: I'm planning on riding over the hills to Orinda and out Saint Mary's road then heading out to Walnut Creek. From there ride out to Danville and take Crow Canyon road to Norris Canyon and back through Castro Valley. This ride has more miles than climbing but not for the faint of heart. Bring 2 water bottles, snack food and money for a rest stop (yes I said a rest stop) brief on though. Ride will cancel if it's raining and change accordingly depending on the weather at start time.
