Another road ride since the last one was so good! The area is Calaveras/680, Sunol, Palomeras Canyon. I don't know this area but Derek says it's a great ride and it's good to be in the East Bay hills with all the unsettled weather we're having.
Distance: 70 miles with 4400 feet of elevation gain. There is a bailout point for 40 miles 2500 feet.
Time: 9am, Saturday April 1
RAIN WILL POSTPONE THE RIDE! If it's raining Saturday morning, we will move this ride to Sunday
Ride Description:
----
Suggested meeting point is Cardoza Park on Kennedy and North Park Victoria Drive in Milpitas. The link should take you to a map of the location. The park is relatively close to hwy 680 and the Calaveras exit.
The planned route is to head up Calaveras Blvd towards Ed Levin Park. Follow Calaveras out past the reservoir to Sunol. Continue on Niles Canyon Road (Hwy 84) and turn up into Palomares Canyon to Castro Valley. Upon reaching Castro Valley we return by turning right on Dublin Canyon Road to Foothill passing through Pleasanton and Sunol. From Sunol we return back to Milpitas by back tracking on Calaveras Road. Estimated distance is 70 miles with 4,400 feet of elevation gain.
People who want less distance can double back to Milpitas from Sunol before the group heads out to Niles and Palomares Canyons.
