This is an annual ride for my local club to celebrate the former club president's birthday. It's a good time to challenge yourself. There will be lots of people out riding this rather remote out and back route.
It's a beautiful ride and a nice time of year to be out there. It's about 60 miles out and back. The initial climb is a bit steep, but then the route climbs fairly gently for about 20 miles.
With the time change, you could have time to continue on to the summit of Hamilton. This would make it about 95 miles and is also an out and back ride. The climb up the back side of Hamilton is substantially steeper than the San Jose side.
Meeting time is 8:45 in front of the library in Livermore.

Maybe.
It's a "free" weekend in that we don't have a death ride training that day. But it's also PP's birthday weekend, and I expect since we don't have a team ride that day we'll be doing her party that day.
I'll try to make it work, though. It would be fun.Sarah

I wonder if I could set up a Friday night party/sleepover and then cut out early in the morning and let the GP fix them all breakfast...

Looks like it will be a warm day.
Will it be one bob or two on the ride?

Well, I wish I could come but I definitely cannot.
Much to do. Pray that I survive the sleepover with 7 10 - 11 year old girls. 
More on point, pray that they survive.

You mean the limitation? Makes a lot of sense. Although I do have to drag my sorry hungover butt over marshall the next day so temperance may be the wiser course. Originally Posted by SadieKate

What time are you guys going to do Diablo? We're trying to get back into two rides every weekend. Starting with Mines Rd., made that look kind of unlikely.

I'll have to check with Thom about Sunday. I emailed him about Diablo tomorrow instead of Mines Rd. He liked the idea.
What do you have in mind for Sunday?
