An approaching cold weather system is expected to pass through the Bay Area overnight tonight, bringing showery weather and cold temperatures. Current forecast is for showers to dissipate by early morning as the front passes, leading to partly sunny conditions through the day. It will be cold (high 50-55 degrees) and there is a slight chance of showers, but the ride is ON

Check your email in the morning - I will post an additional update by 6:30 am.

This ride starts climbing as soon as you leave the parking lot! We’ll climb Tunnel Road, visit Inspiration Point in Tilden Park and climb a couple of the 3 Bears. B and C riders have a short but challenging 400’ climb up Happy Valley Road. D riders challenge “Pig Farm Hill” and Reliez Valley Road. While there are lots of hills, most are not steep and the views are gorgeous. B’s and C’s have lunch in Lafayette while D’s lunch in Moraga at Bianca’s Deli. All routes return via a climb of Pinehurst Road and descent of Tunnel Road.  Rain cancels. Online route sheets/maps/gps.

MEETING TIME: 9:15 am for 9:30 departure

MEETING LOCATION: Meet at Temescal Regional Recreation Area - best to follow written directions rather than use GPS.  The GPS address is 6500 Broadway, Oakland, not 6500 Broadview Terrace. Directions: From Hwy 24 Eastbound exit at Broadway Exit. After exiting the freeway, go left on Broadway towards route 13. It's a funny intersection where it appears you will merge onto Route 13, but stay to the right and go 3/4 mile on Broadway to the entrance to Temescal Park on right (parking is free in March). Driving time from Palo Alto is 55-60 minutes. BICYCLE DIRECTIONS from Rockridge BART (1.2 miles): L on Shafter, C on Keith, L on Broadway, R into park.
