Meet at Rockridge BART @ 9:00 for a 9:15 departure.  Join us for a ride that will burn some of those extra holiday calories you&#039;ve been accumulating.  Start at Rockridge BART and travel to Castro Valley (via Tunnel Rd, Skyline, Redwood Rd) where we will ride and climb the scenic 5 Canyons Pkwy, and descend into Hayward before returning to Castro Valley and to San Leandro via 7 Hills Rd.  Approximately 3000&#039; of climbing with plenty of coffee along the way.  Many bail-out options along the way, and ways to continue back to Rockridge BART, but the ride will officially end at San Leandro BART. 30% or greater chance of rain cancels. Helmets required to sign-in for the ride.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This is a beautiful route. Once I got out of Waikiki, past H-1, and onto Highway 72, people became very intolerant of my taking up a lane, despite the numerous &quot;Share the Road&quot; signs in their various incarnations. I got honked at about 5 times and several cars passed way too close. Still, this is a beautiful route, with many places to stop and take in the view. Recommended! Just stay aware of the traffic around you.]]></description>

It has smooth and rough roads, beautiful mountaintop vistas, and a relatively long stretch of lakeside riding. Lots of fun with minimal traffic on a weekday, and I only got chased by dogs once.]]></description>

There is some VERY nice backroads scenery here though that samples the ridges and valleys northeast of Granville.

The climb from Dillingham to the Craggy Picnic area is a long good gravel road. It can be done on a road bike with low gearing (or any gearing if you are an elite rider.) There are stores along Reems creek, Barnardsville, and Dillingham (but these are small stores and may or may not be open.) Waterfalls and beautiful valleys. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This is the first leg of my route to Mt. Wilson.  A sheriff was parked at the entrance to the Angeles Forest making sure no one was ignoring that &quot;road closed&quot; sign.  At the time, the road was closed due to the earth movers that were moving debris to prevent landslides from the recent fires.  Anyway, the main points about this route... Chevy Chase gets pretty steep for a mile and a half, there is a section in Glendale where I have been nearly hit by a car practically every time I have been on this route, and the first section of Angeles Crest Hwy is deceptively steep.]]></description>
