Start at the First Congregational Church (west parking lot at Hamilton on Leigh) at 10:00 or meet up at Almaden Lake Park (by the restrooms on Winfield) to leave no earlier than 10:40. We will ride down past Almaden Reservoir to the base of Hicks and optionally up bucolic Herbert Rd with its somewhat broken, but easily rideable pavement alongside the creek. Return via the historic Hacienda Cemetery on Bertram Road and Almaden Expwy to the park and then the church. Post-ride refreshment options at the Pruneyard. As are all my rides, no one left behind. Start location: 1980 Hamilton Ave., San Jose, CA [Route/Map]
