I signed up for the Devil Mountain Double and created this training ride. If you are also doing DMD, or just generally a masochist, please join me! Starting at Berryessa Community Center, up and down Hamilton to warm up, then Sierra out to Welch Creek then to Dublin to return by Palomares. Long stretches without water and food, so pack accordingly. A snack stop at mile 81 Sunol Corners, but that's about it. Climbing is frontloaded and the back end is the necessary slog to accumulate miles, including a stretch of Niles Canyon for true DMD prep Start location: 3050 Berryessa Rd, San Jose, CA 95132 [Route Link]
