11 mi, 3 M, 1700 ft; Almaden Quicksilver Park

We'll meet at the at the Almaden Quicksilver Hacienda entrance off of Almaden Road at 8:45 AM and roll at 9:00 AM. We'll visit some of the abandoned mines and the reservoir with optional detours available on rider request. Water and restrooms are available only at the start/end, so plan ahead (pun intended). This is an "all dirt" fire road ride so a gravel bike should be OK if you're comfortable on it but a mountain bike is much easier. Excessive heat or poor air quality will cancel the ride. Please consider bringing some snacks or beverages to share after the ride. Start location: Almaden Quicksilver Hacienda Entrance, San Jose [Route/Map]
