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.
