• FFS RIDE: MT. HAMILTON C/4(5200’)/47; D/5(7400’)/57;

  • When
    Sat, October 31, 2020
  •  
    9:45 AM (PDT)
  • Location
    Cataldi Park, San Jose

  Mt Hamilton is a long, but not steep, climb with wonderful panoramic views. All routes start with a loop through Alum Rock Park, then climb directly to the summit. . On the return trip D’s add a beautiful “out-and-back” spur on traffic free Kincaid Road. 

  This year, the observatory complex is closed, so RIDERS SHOULD BRING PLENTY OF WATER AND PACK YOUR LUNCH – NO FOOD is AVAILABLE.  The best information we have is that water is available at the top of the mountain (at junction), but riders should ensure they have full bottles when they leave the regroup point at Grant Park.  Also, late October weather can be difficult to predict on Mt. Hamilton.  Be prepared for warm temperatures on the way up and cold temperatures on the way down. Rain, poor air quality, or extreme heat cancels. 

  INFORMATION:  Bill Sherwin  - wbsherwin@gmail.com or 650.888.6749 for more information.

  MEETING TIME: Meet at 9:45 AM for a 10:00 AM start 

  MEETING LOCATION:  Meet at NE corner of Cataldi Park (2920 Cataldi Drive, San Jose, CA). Directions: Hwy 237 east, I-880 south, Montague Expressway east, right on Morrill Ave., right on Cataldi Dr.
