If anyone interested in a challenging ride, I'm going to do 40-60 miles in the Oakland Hills this Sunday 8:30. Leaving from ORINDA VILLAGE (North! side of freeway), from on street parking in front of library/ park (across from Rite Aid) on Orinda Way.
Lots of bathrooms/ water stops along the way. Pace will be more than leisurly but much much less than killer. Plenty of places to regroup, but my M.O. is not to break for longer than 5 minutes except when we reach the halfway point. (no 3 hours of riding time in 5 hours of actual time) Lots of climbing, starting with going up into Tilden Park, with many options--so can make the ride as hard or easy as we want. As no imminent Century rides coming up, can opt for the easier, and avoid things like South Park Road. (But, I can always be talked into it)
IMO this is the nicest ride in Contra Costa, with an added bonus that it will be 10-15 degrees cooler than in East County.
If anyone interested email me so I'll hold to the 8:30 time.
