Ride Start: Fowler Creek Park along Altia Ave. Start Location It looks like we will get rain for the weekend, so I want to get my DRT fitness today. It has been 75-80 d on Mt Hamilton above the valley's Inversion Layer. So the ride takes us above the clouds right away. The climbing allows minimal clothing to continue the warm ride above the Inversion Layer. Rain cancels, ride at your own pace. John plans to drive to Grant Ranch and meet me around 8am. I plan to train aggressively in December, then I will resume my usual "OFKRB" rides in January. Start location: Fowler Creek Park, San Jose [Route/Map]
