I'm Planning on a special ride this week as a memorial to Mike Harding and I know  he would like us to start the new year with one of his favorite rides.  The ride will be Mt Hamilton and the start location will be Cataldi Park (10 am)  in San Jose (Morrill Ave/Cataldi Dr) .  I will be starting from Calabazas Park in West San Jose (S Blaney Ave/Rainbow Dr) (8:30 am meeting and leaving at 8:45) riding over to Cataldi Park if anyone wants to join for the full Mike Harding style ride.
