Bay Trail Ride Sunday

[Trek420]

Ace,

Spazzdog has some fool idea of designing a route from her pad up into the hills. She feels I need to get of of the Bay Trail and climb for ALC in June.

Oh I suppose she's right. Wanna join us?

I must respectfully decline, and stick to the blessed flatness of the Bay Trail, Trek. My knee injury is keeping me on the flats for at least another couple of weeks. Maybe you guys can do the hills Saturday, and do a nice recovey ride with us on Sunday?

I have to work tomorrow

"Fool" checking in

Yep, got a route... part courtesy of the Tuf-Map for the east bay with a add of a couple of miles to leave and return from my house.

The Tuf-Map route is 23 miles with 2200+ climbing in total. The bit from my place may add 2 mi and a smidge more climbing.

Got a feeling though that I'm alone in this one... not feelin' the love for city riding + hills. That's OK. I'm a little wierd in that I don't mind traffic. Blame it on riding in Manhattan

Waiting to here final decision from Ms. Trk420

I may be just fool enough to do this

I'll join you one of these days, Spazz - I'm working my way back into the "climbing groove", with a detour these days on the flats while I break in a new saddle. Keep me posted about your plans, and I'd be interested in knowing what your route is.

From my place:

meander up to Fairmount (R), Moss (L), Vernon (L), Santa Rosa (R), Jean (L), Grand (R), LakePark (L), LakeShore (L), TrestleGlen (R), Park (L), Leimert (R)

Monterey (R), Joaquin Miller (L), Butters (bear R), becomes Crestmont (I think), Skyline (R), GrassValley (R) becomes GolfLinks, 82nd (L)

Bancroft (R), 47th (R), Foothill (L), LakeShore (R), LakePark (L), Grand (R), Jean (L), SantaRosa (R), Vernon (L), Moss (R), Fairmount (R), Yosemite (L).

About 25 miles (give or take) with 2200' climbing. The climbing occurs between my place and the intersection of Crestmont and Skyline. From Skyline on it's mostly downhill according to the east bay bicycle coalition map).


All the water, gatorade, coffee and/or tequilla you can drink at my place

OR the many fine dining locales on Piedmont.

We may do this tomorrow yet... the jury is still out.
