Saturday, September 21st

Start in Orinda and ride some great cycling roads of the area.

2800 ft, approx 37 miles.

Meet at 10:15 am at the Orinda Library (cafe) 2 blocks north of Orinda BART.
  
Best to arrive early, so we’ll have time to sign our Ride Waiver form. Ride rolls at 10:30 am from Orinda.  We start with a fairly easy route to Lafayette, and then do a more challenging route CCW around Briones reservoir — via Happy Valley and baby bears.  We start with an easy climb over to Moraga, then mostly downhill to Lafayette, then up and over Happy Valley and 3-Bears CCW (so just the baby bears back to Orinda).  Those who wish to can ride up Wildcat (closed to cars) to Inspiration Point and back down.  Mostly very scenic country roads and trails.

The ride will be canceled if there 90 plus degree weather or a 30% or greater chance of rain for Saturday. Check Friday evening from this Weather Underground link: https://www.wunderground.com/hourly/us/ca/orinda. Check for the hours between 11am and 3pm. Bring water, food and money.
