LDT RIDE: LIVERMORE B/3(2400’)/38; C/3(3200’)/48; D/2.5(3500’)/60; E/3(5000’)/75

  • Sat, February 13, 2021
  • Livermore, CA

UPDATE 2/12/21 - Livermore LDT is ON.

Overnight light showers are expected to end by mid-morning, so the ride is on. 

Dress warmly - this ride traverses two passes, so be prepared for the possibility of cool/windy conditions and/or a stray shower. You will be rewarded with beautiful green vistas and windmills to conquer! Our taqueria lunch stop in Livermore is open for takeout and has added extra outdoor tables for seating. 


LDT logistics have been changed for 2021 to adapt to COVID restrictions!

  • Instead of a “mass start”, riders can sign in and start at any time during a 60 minute time window.
  • We have suggested start times for each ride level (see below), but all riders are welcome to start at any time during the window.
  • Riding groups should not exceed 15-20 riders.
  • All riders must be WWBC Members.
  • As with all WWBC rides, face masks are mandatory for everyone at ride start and at regroups (see details below).
  • PRINT ROUTE SHEETS AT HOME – no paper route sheets will be distributed!
  • Make sure you “SIGN IN”– we are required to have attendance information for all riders! ("Sign in" will be done verbally at check in table. (Alternately you can text Guy at 650-704-0895. Be sure to include your full name and which route you are doing.)
