Alameda Creek Trail - Saturday April 29

your directions make more sense than those I found on Mapqest...who I always say would direct one from SF to LA by way of Salt Lake City.

Off to some good breakfast, them I'm setting off...with a stop at Mission Coffee!

If you see a couple out there, she with a pinkish bike, he with a light blue bike (our bikes resemble a freakin' Hallmark easter card), both with big canvas saddlebags on the back, then give out a holler, that'll be me & the Mr.

We're heading out in that general direction today, out to Cafe Romeo, then maybe on to Alum Rock Park, and possibly then on to Grant Ranch Park which is about 1/4 of the way up Mt. Hamilton (um, or not - I'm still recuperating from reading about V.'s exploits ;) ).

Have fun! And let's do this again. Shadon, I just RSVP'd for the Jonathon Pon 2-day ride. Out and back to the Russian River. The schedule says registered riders only but if they'll let a training ride leader in....now I'M nervous.

Okay...if you'r nervous, I'm sweating bullets! I'm gonna ride every single day for the next two weeks...and then I'm not gonna worry about it!

and you get to see Spazzdog!...so your brunch plans are perfect! Enjoy the good food and friends!

Damn - I'm sore today! Not too bad though, pretty much what I expected since I've not ridden since.........Feb? :eek: It was great fun, great company, I add my vote to do it again. I'm tempted to drive to the park closer to Jo's nemisis hill and practice, practice practice!

Great pictures, snap!

I think this is going to be a frequent ride for me because of the nemesis hill. I really want to see what it's like to zoooom down!

Snap - thanks for the pictures! I think I have one or two from the parking lot that I'll try to post too.

Looks like you guys had a great day. That nemisis hill of Jo's is a bear.
