December has arrived and it’s time for the final Ramble of the year! Amy and Spencer have cooked up a platter of some East Bay dirt to get everyone into the holiday spirit. With recent weather, trails are in incredible condition – now’s the time to get out and enjoy them before the wet season truly deluges us. We’ll start from Ain’t Normal and end at Sideshow Burger.
Arrive 8:30 for coffee and conversation, wheels up at 9. Food and tales of valor to follow.
