    The Three Bears

    SK- That's the route I took Veronica on in Nov or Dec. We did it from Martinez. However, instead of going home by the SF Bay on old HWY 40, we went BACK to Martinez via Pig Farm hill (called this as there used to be a pig farm at the top- sign still says "Pigs for sale"). Doing that hill (18% climb towards the top-short and sweet)requires much determination!!!! But V did it 31lbs of bike and all!!!!

    Anytime you all want to do this route, let me know. I'll bet Cindy Sue would do it in a heart beat with us! I willl probably do Bears on Sunday as that is my ride day. Sometimes I'll go to the top of the last long bear and then turn around and come back via Franklin Canyon to the Carquinez Bridge. Many ways to do this ride and very little traffic.

    Wish I could come with you- BZ tomorrow, but that just won't happen. Hope you don't get too much rain- forecast says AM showers, clearing in PM.

    Thanks, everyone. I was trying to figure out which route everyone prefers since there are so many on the web.

    Nancy, Pig Farm was on the TopHat. Seemed OK to me. I hated Happy Valley for some reason. Maybe it was just the name. I mtbike at Briones frequently. The hills there make Pig Farm look like a piglet.



    Back on topic - Go teams! Trying not to show any bias.
