Reliez Valley Road - Ron

  • 28 Feb 2015
  • 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM
  • Kaiser Alameda
Ride Leader: Ron

Start:  Kaiser 8:00AM

Description: 4/D/60.  Head up Park to Butters taking Skyline to Redwood Rd. From there up Pinehurst and out to Moraga and taking St Mary's Rd to Reliez Rd. Ride up Pleasant Hill Road and catch Reliez again riding over to Alhambra then up and over Pig Farm Hill. I would skip 3 Bears and ride up San Pablo Dam Rd to Wildcat, Grizzley, Skyline before heading down Snake and back to Alameda.  I don't plan on riding at blazing speed but list this as a D pace as rest stops (with water) are few and far between.  Make sure you have 2 water bottles , snack foods, and 2 tubes for your bike.
