Ride Description

Meet at 9:00 am for a 9:05 am start
Pre-registration
It's such a gorgeous spring weekend - let's ride! Here is a local substitute for Steph and Jess's Healdsburg ride which is now postponed to a future date.

Meet, ready to ride, 9:00am at Spruce and Grizzly Peak. Roll promptly at 9:05. Or meet us at the corner of Wildcat/SPDR/Bear Creek Rds at 9:25 for the 45 mile version. We'll ride some favorite roads in the East Bay Hills: Outbound via SPDR, Alhambra Valley Rd, Franklin Cyn, and McEwen (the steep part downhill, not up!). Carquinez Scenic Dr to Martinez for lunch. Return via Pig Farm and the Bears.

The route is here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/29105899.

Pre-registration is greatly appreciated - especially if you'll meet us at the 45 mile start point.

Reminder: Sunday is the first day of Daylight Savings Time. Under the circumstances, my personal trick to get to a ride on time (which I'm happy to share) is to turn my clocks ahead by one hour on Saturday evening and use that new schedule right away.
