  • Cataldi Park, San Jose
 Meet Guy Shuman for a Tour of California viewing excursion. This year the TOC starts in San Jose and traverses Calaveras Reservoir before heading to the back side of Mt. Hamilton. We'll start at Cataldi Park and follow the race course to Calaveras Road and up "The Wall" (a short steep climb). We'll watch the racers come through at The Wall or shortly beyond at 11:00 am (riders will still be a tight group). After the race passes we'll continue out to the "County Line", then U-turn and climb up Felter Road the back way to the top of Sierra, a long climb but not as steep as climbing Sierra (riders short on time or energy can return directly to the start for a total ride of about 16 miles). We'll stop for a picnic at the top of Sierra with its beautiful views of the Santa Clara Valley, so pack a snack/sandwich and extra water. The ride finishes with a fantastic descent on Sierra Road to the finish.  Social pace with regroups. Meet at 9:30 am for a prompt 9:45 start at the NE corner of Cataldi Park (2920 Cataldi Drive, San Jose, CA): I-280 South, Continue on I-680 North, exit at Hostetter Road East, Left on Morrill Ave, Left on Cataldi Drive. Info: shumansteiner@gmail.com or 650-704-0895). Rain cancels.
