Del puerto loop
Leader: David Brown (510) 508-4215
Leader: Alison Kuehner (510) 219-3929
Meet at 7:45 am for a 8:00 am start
Start Location: Livermore - Ernie Rodrigues Softball fields
This is the season to ride this classic route. The weather forecast looks perfect and the spring wildflowers should be in full bloom along Corral Hollow and Del Puerto. In spite of the moderate total elevation this is still a challenging century due to the back loaded climbing and the steep final pitch of Del Puerto. We’ll stop at the market at mile 23, lunch in Patterson strip mall at mile 49. Don’t count on the junction cafe (mile 75) being open, but there is always water at the fire station. There’s also a spring along Del Puerto with potable water, I’ll try to put it on the map. Note there is 50 miles of backroads (no cell service) on this route so make sure you and your bike are in good shape and you have necessary spares, etc. Meet at Ernie Rodrigues field (yes there are bathrooms) and be ready to roll by 8:00. We’ll keep a high TM pace and try to get back by 4:00.
RWGPS route
Note: Tesla road washed out in February and is now closed (thanks Steve Hahn for the warning). I updated the route to go over Patterson pass instead. The mileage is nearly the same and the total elevation goes down.
Update: NO water at the fire station or at Junction. We will definitely stop at the spring but be sure to carry plenty of water between Patterson and back to start.

"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.

- 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.
