28 mi, 5 M, 3000 ft; Yerba Buena/Hassler,Metcalf,Las Animas

A quick spin to pick up the listed goats and earn your nutrition/hydration at Silver Creek Barbecue near the ride start. If you need a hearty (or healthy!) breakfast, meet Ron Coppersmith (featured in our October GTKY) at Le Boulanger in the same plaza an hour before the ride start.

After catching the goats, there will be some meandering around the San Felipe neighborhood led by Ron so we could hit 3000 feet of ascent before the post-ride hydration and nutrition.

Regroup on all climbs; feel free to skip goats. You could skip Metcalf by taking the Silver Creek Valley Road shortcut.

Meet at the Evergreen Community Center (4860 San Felipe Road, San Jose, CA).
