Start: Kaiser 8:00AM
Description: 2/BC/30: A local ride, sort of. Depart for BART from Kaiser steps at 8AM. Begin riding at Dublin BART, to Danville for coffee, then on to Walnut Creek BART, and then bimbamboom home. Some may want to disemBART at Rockridge BART to add some miles...like me! We should be home by noonish. Flat, comfortable pace.
