While riding in the Pleasanton the other day, I saw a plethora of little pink arrows in the road. It was the cycling equivalent of bread crumbs.

My Garmin Edge recorded the adventure, and you can see the route on the map and the elevation profile here:

or

The second link is a player, which correlates the elevation changes with the points on the map.

A couple of words to the wise:

1. According to motionbased, the total elevation gain was over 3000 feet. WRONG! Bikely puts it at 1671 feet, which sounds about right.

2. The Cinderella starting point is the Alameda County Fairgrounds; my starting point was from my brother & sister-in-law's house.

3. I lost track of the little pink arrows toward the end of the ride, so I had to improvise a little bit.

Oh, one more disclaimer. Yes, I'm slow! But, but, but ... I'd done a hilly 70 mile ride the day before, so my legs were a bit tired.
