C+/D/4 (6200')/73 GRIZZLY PEAK CENTURY - 75MI ROUTE.

Meet Jon Penn (jonpenn@gmail.com, (650)544-7270) at 7:30 AM for an 8:00 departure at St. Mary's College, 1928 St. Mary's Rd. Moraga, CA.

Let's show our support to a fellow Bay Area cyclist club by attending their fundraising ride. I'm offering myself up as "Ride Leader" for anyone who wants to join me on this beautiful, well-supported ride.

Ride description for this route:
From the start at St Mary's College it climbs the east side of the Oakland-Berkeley hills via Pinehurst Road, then follows the ridge up and over Grizzly Peak and into Tilden Park to the rest stop at Island Picnic Area. It then heads north to the edge of the Bay and the Carquinez Strait to the rest stop at Port Costa. From there it climbs McEwen Road for a run down into Franklin Canyon and Alhambra Valley, then over Pig Farm Hill and through the hills around Briones Reservoir to the rest stop at Briones Regional Park. Finally, relatively easy riding on Moraga Way takes you back to the start for the post-ride meal.

If the 75-mile ride isn't for you, please note that they have 5 other rides, so 6 in total: four paved routes of 30 miles, 50 miles, 75 miles, and 100 miles, and two gravel routes of 32 miles and 63 miles.

Please let me know if you plan to join us - contact Jon directly: at (jonpenn@gmail.com, (650)544-7270)
