Spruce Loop - Joe

  • 02 Aug 2014
  • 8:00 AM - 2:00 PM
  • Kaiser Alameda
Ride Leader:Joe

Start:  Kaiser 8:00AM

Description: 3/BC/45 A fave route! We will head to Berkeley to Spruce, climb Spruce to Wildcat, descend to SP Dam Road, then on to Moraga. Stop for coffee in Moraga at Si Si Cafe, then on to North Pinehurst, descend Snake Road to Moraga, descend Park Blvd to Monterey, to Redwood Road, to 38th...home. It sounds more difficult than it is...challenging for sure, but do-able for any "B" rider.
