Pre-Spring ride 03/05/05


Arlen Ness's shop - Mines road - The Junction - Mt. Hamilton - San Jose

-----Ride report-----



I am organizing (?) a pre-spring ride starting at Arlen Ness's Shop in Dublin, Ca on Saturday March 5 th. We should meet 09:30 at the shop and leave about 10:00. We'll make sure that we have time to check out the shop and museum. This ride is for anyone with a bike, not just Volusia riders.

We'll pick up Mines road outside of Livermore and stop at "The Junction" for lunch. This is a great biker stop. After that, through San Antonio Valley, up Mt. Hamilton road, and another stop at Lick Observatory. From here it is down hill to San Jose. If you like twisties, you'll love this road.
