Definitely plan on 10 hours for this ride.
Some of you might make it in a lot less but you have to remember we'll be going over Mt Hamilton and Mines Road. We'll be stopping at the Mt Ham summit (briefly, at least) and at the Junction (probably longer, for lunch), and depending on how slow some of us climb - like me!! - and how long the stops are, 10 hours is definitely not unreasonable.
Which means owing to daylight savings time & all - we turn clocks forward on Nov 2- we (or at least I) will need to start at 7 am.
Faster riders can of course start later and whiz by me heading up Hamilton.
