The shadows grow longer and the nights yawn longer before us. The air sniffles with ever larger smudges of rain as we prepare for daylight savings to guillotine our mornings. Despite these fall horrors, Huck rolls on! East Bay dirt is running right now β letβs enjoy those sweet, pleasantly moist trails while weβve got them! Amy and Jacqueline have chosen a route that will take us up and over Grizzly Peak before heading up to Tilden.
Arrive 8:30 for coffee and conversation, wheels up at 9.
