Wow our March weekends are packed. We are doing our Diablo rides on the only two days we don't have plans.
March 20th 9 AM- Mountain bike starting in Mitchell Canyon. Technically we don't actually go to the top, although you can. You can read about that in a post from last year Devil's Elbow Ride. It requires some riding on the road.
If you're interested in joining us, I'll figure out the directions to Mitchell Canyon and post them.
March 26 9AM - Road ride, meet at Arbolado Park, 2nd parking lot.

I've got 'em on the calendar though not sure I can do Diablo on Saturday and Cardiac on Sunday. You and Kim can be the Ironwomen.
The mtbride sounds great but kind of death-defying. What part are you planning on doing the 20th?

We won't do Devil's Elbow. We'll stick to the fire roads, although if a group wanted to go do it, they certainly could and meet up with us at Meridian. It's beautiful, but you do have to ride on the road from Juniper to Devil's Elbow.
We're riding Mines Road the day before this with our club. It's the back side of Mt. Hamilton. Should make for a tiring weekend.

Just a note to let you know we're definitely planning on riding this Sunday, the 20th. I think this is the mtbike version, but if you'd rather do a road version we can do either. Just let us know which bikes to bring.
We'll need directions to Mitchell Canyon. Is this in any of the multitude of guide books I probably own?

I hope it doesn't rain. If there's too much rain on Saturday, we'll road bike the mountain instead. Unless of course it's raining on Sunday.
Directions: 680 to Ygnacio. Take it until you get to Pine Hollow. It's just after the Cal State Hayward Campus. Turn right on Pine Hollow. Then turn right on Mitchell Canyon road. You'll need to pay to park - unless you have a state parks pass.
Kim lives over that way and maybe she can give some better landmarks for the turns.
Is the Folsom contingent coming?

Thanks, Veronica. I'll go check some maps. Bubba was all ready to ride Diablo last weekend. I can't believe how gung ho he is to go ride hills! Due to the Vaca Mtns our rainfall can be significantly different than the East Bay, so be sure to let us know the plan.
Haven't heard from Petunia since Berryessa.
