Come for a stroll on some of the classics.
The ride will start out of Orinda and we will first head south towards Moraga to take a loop of Pinehurst to warm up before the heat of the day picks up. We will then continue into Lafayette, for some smiles as we go up Happy Valley Rd. We will then drop down to SPDR to visit the Three Bears but in reverse.
With the sun now comfortably overhead we will tackle Pig Farm Hill and dart for the shadiness of Alhambra Valley and Reliez Valley. Having successfully conquered the hills we will the meander our way back to Lafayette and through Orinda to arrive back at the Bart.
The ride is posted as T paced and will ultimately average ~11-12 miles per hour. The hills tend to stretch the group out but we will have regroups at the top of all climbs where possible and appropriate.
