**IMPROMPTU* C/3/52 Almaden Five Reservoirs Ride

C/3/52 Almaden Five Reservoirs Ride.  Join Barry Mann (cell 510-684-7270, email BarryMannMD@pacbell.net) and Wasi Wahid at 9:15 am for 9:30 am start at the Almaden Lake Bocce Ball parking lot on the corner of Winfield and Almaden Lake Dr in San Jose. We will follow the Lake Almaden trail for a few miles before reaching the only tough climb of the ride, but boy is it a tough one: Hicks Road, 1.2miles of 12% average grade! Once we finish that, we will have scenic rolling hills past Guadalupe, Almaden, Calero, Chesbro and Uvas Reservoirs. No food will be available along this route, so bring enough to last 4+ hours. There will be bathroom and water refill available at mile 15 and 48 at the Challenger School.  Rain cancels
