The climbs break down as (approx):

Palomares Road 7 miles 750 feet
Cull Canyon 7 miles 750 feet

If you only do Palomares, it will be 15 miles; if also Cull Canyon then 30 miles.
Start and end at Castro Valley BART. Meet at 11:00 in front of the main entrance. Bring water, bars, $$ for optional coffee/food stop at the end.
The ride will be canceled if the chance of rain is 30% or more.
