Saturday, February 7th

Climb up to Skyline to enjoy the panoramic bay views and return along the Bay Trail.

2500 ft climbing; approx 40 miles.

Meet at 10:15 am at Shaka Shack in Alameda – by the Park Street bridge, close to Fruitvale BART.  
Best to arrive early, so we’ll have time to sign our Ride Waiver form. Ride rolls at 10:30 am.  We start with flat then gentle inclines, increasing the difficulty as we go to Montclair then up Burdick/Butters as one of the better ways to get up to Skyline.  Then rollers heading North until we get to Sibley water stop and Grizzly Peak Blvd.  More views and a last climb up and over Grizzly Peak.  Then lots of descending through the hills and down the foodie avenue of Solano.  Then along the bay trails and Emeryville, where we can do a food stop.  Finally we ride through the Port of Oakland and over to Jack London Square – take the free ferry to Alameda, back to the starting point.
