36 mi, 6 LM, 5626 ft; Quimby West,Quimby East,Mt Hamilton/Middle,Mt Hamilton/Upper

This is an out and back starting at Fowler Creek Park, going up Quimby West, Mt. Hamilton Middle and Upper, then returning with a final climb up Quimby East. We anticipate another hot humid day so we are rolling at 8:00 am to enjoy a cooler start. Ride at your own speed, optional regroups at the Quimby Summit and Mt. Hamilton Summit. I lead from behind or in front depending on the speed of the riders. Bring plenty of water and snacks. The visitor center at Lick Observatory has been closed for quite some time due to storm damage, however there is a water faucet and vending machines available at the summit. Start location: Fowler Creek Park, Altia Ave & Cortona Dr, San Jose, CA 95135 [Route Link]
