Rougedog, it's been ages since I've been on Calaveras and you've inspired me to go up it this coming Saturday.

My hubby & I will be heading out from our home in Union City, and heading down Niles Canyon Blvd. into Sunol, up & over and back home - in the clockwise direction.

Anyhow, you didn't mention when your ride was going to be. Should I be on the lookout for you on Saturday?
