SAT FEB 1 3!/M/100 (or 120) Del Puerto Loop 
Leader: Mark Abrahams     (510) 524-1294
Meet at 7:30 am   Rain Date: Sun Feb 2
Start Location: Pleasanton - Neal & Railroad Ave

This is the classic GPC Del Puerto loop from Pleasanton. A fabulous variety of terrain for riding, sightseeing, climbing (including one 1.5 mile steep pitch, hence the "!" in the listing), descending, pacelining (optional), and a bit of craft beer drinking too (also optional).

In 120 miles we'll traverse the Livermore Valley; ride out to the Central Valley; skirt around Tracy and Patterson; climb Del Puerto Canyon to San Antonio Junction; climb away from the Junction and zoom down Mines Road; and finally re-traverse the Livermore Valley back to Pleasanton. Note for those who have ridden that "other, younger" bike club's route recently: We follow a classic, different, and IMHO better route through both valleys, including vineyard and foothill views through the Livermore valley and the historic Hwy 33 through Vernalis and Westley in the Central Valley. The route includes 3 rest stops. It has no shortcuts or bailouts.

For the Pleasanton (120mi) start, be ready to ride at 7:35am - please arrive long enough in advance to get ready. Prompt 7:40am departure. Location: Pleasanton at Railroad Ave just north of W. Neal (between First and Main Sts). Nice public restrooms are nearby, one block south (but if you might need the restroom, please arrive and be parked by 07:15 latest).

A shorter (101 mile) option is available, starting in Livermore. For this, meet us at the intersection of Concannon Blvd and S Livermore Ave, on the south corner of the intersection. Please be there, ready to ride, at 08:20 (although our exact arrival time is not possible to predict). There's a parking lot on the north corner, across the street. The location is about 3/4 mi beyond (southeast of) Livermore Civic Center. RSVP's are appreciated, in any case, for map count.

Bring lights in case of a slower ride than expected, especially if you're doing the 120 mile route. Be prepared for chilly morning weather.

The route: ridewithgps.com/routes/26625111. Paper maps are available, but if you want one please RSVP so that I can bring enough.

NWS PoPs 20% or more will likely postpone the ride to Sunday. If weather is doubtful, contact ride leader by 9:00pm the night before or check the online listings for an update - don't assume anything.

Let's put in some time on the bike on Super Saturday, so as to not feel guilty about all those chicken wings, chili, chips and dip and whatever else might be on the menu at game time the following day. We'll ride the "One Bakery" Lucas Valley, Cheese Factory, Marshall Wall, Pt Reyes Station loop. Lots of miles, some challenging hills, a "!" for getting up the Marshall Wall, and then the roll down the coast to either the Bovine or the leader's new preference of the picnic tables and coffee hut at the feed store on the other side of the street. Bring snacks to get you through until our late-ride stop in Pt Reyes Station. Note: 20% or better chance of rain will POSTPONE UNTIL SUPER SUNDAY – call leader by 8:30 that morning if in doubt. Those wishing to shave off mileage are welcome to meet the group in Nicasio at approximately 10:45-11:00, which will reduce the overall mileage to 40.

Please join me for a beautiful but challenging south bay ride.

We'll make an efficient artichoke bread stop before getting back on the road for a 17 mile loop south and back to Pescadero.

We’ll start by taking in the Nicasio reservoir, cross over Platform Bridge and then head up Olema Hill to Pt Reyes before heading out Bear Valley Road and Sir Frances Drake to the coast for lunch (picnic tables and bathrooms available, sandwiches can be purchased at the excellent deli along the way). After lunch we’ll head back to Pt Reyes Station for an optional re-group at the feed store coffee hut before the short section left to Nicasio. Expect at least two significant climbs – Olema Hill and the hill after Inverness leading up to the park – and lots more good uphill grades over the rollers as we make our way out to the coast, not to mention the leg-cruncher to get back up to the main road from the beach after lunch. We may be treated to huge bull elephant seals lazing away on the beach, and to Tule Elk on the hills near the coast. Leader rides at a fast TM pace; other paces welcome for those comfortable following a cue sheet (you won't get lost). Bring water, lunch or money to buy at the deli in Inverness Park, and clothing suitable for the weather. 20% chance or more of rain will cancel; call the leader by 9:00 that morning if in doubt.
