Approx. 43 miles; 2750 feet climbing; average speed around 10 mph (leisurely, with frequent regroupings)
The upper part of Calaveras Road is one of the best cycling roads in the bay area. We go south from Pleasanton to Sunol, then down Calaveras, first to the false summit, then through all of the ins-and-outs to the top of the “Wall”, then return back on the same roads. We can buy food in Sunol if needed, then eat it at the Wall turnaround, or we can eat at the end (lots of eateries there).
Start and end at Mike’s Bikes on Bernal in Pleasanton. Meet at 11:00 in front of the bike store. Bring water, bars, food or $$.
