Start Location: Milpitas BART
Pre-registration
NOTE that due to BART construction delays between South Hayward and Union City stations now scheduled for this weekend, we have revised the route. Here is the new ridewithgps link. Ride will now start from the South Hayward BART station. Check back later today (Friday) for the revised link. Plan to arrive at South Hayward on the train arriving at 9:12. Route will likely skip Calaveras Wall and head for Palomares Canyon and then on to Berkeley. 45 miles. Weather forecast for Castro Valley is 89.
Let's take advantage of the last weekend of 1/2 price BART fares by rolling from the Milpitas BART station all the way back to Berkeley and beyond. Lots of miles and hills between here and there, including the Calaveras Wall, Palomares Canyon, etc. We'll roll at a moderate TM pace -- not too slow, not too fast, juuuuust right. Brief lunch stop will be in Castro Valley, bring snacks to see you through to there, and of course two water bottles with your choice of liquids. The last time we did this ride the group headed off in multiple different directions once we hit Pinehurst, but leaders will ride to Sibley and then decide whether to head down to Rockridge or to take Grizzly Peak Blvd back to Berkeley and beyond. Route is here -- please download or print your own, leaders will not have them available for all at the start. Meet at 9:10, roll at 9:20ish -- plan on taking the BART train that arrives at Milpitas station at 9:06. Pre-registration is appreciated. Rain will cancel -- contact the leaders the night before if the weather forecast is iffy.

This is a Release. When you agree to it, you forever give up certain rights to sue the persons and entities referred to in this Release. READ IT CAREFULLY.
"Grizzly Peak Cyclists", "GPC" and "the club" refer to Grizzly Peak Cyclists, Inc., a California Nonprofit Mutual Benefit Corporation, or its successor organization in the event that it should reorganize, merge, or change its name.
In return for being allowed to participate in any activity by Grizzly Peak Cyclists, Inc.:
- I acknowledge that I and other participants may be engaging in activities that involve risk of serious injury to me, including viral and bacterial infections, other communicable illnesses, permanent disability, and death. I understand that these risks may be increased through my own actions, or through the negligent action or inaction of Grizzly Peak Cyclists members or representatives. I therefore assume all risks of injury or loss, even if caused in whole or in part by the negligence of Grizzly Peak Cyclists, its members, or other representatives.

- California Civil Code section 1542 states: 'A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.' I specifically waive the terms of that section, and agree to release claims that I may not yet know of, or which may be based on events that have not yet occurred.
- If I am allowing children under the age of 18 to participate in any activity, I agree on their behalf to the terms of this Release.
