The ride back has less climbing (because Moraga is at a higher altitude than Castro Valley). If you took BART to the start, then you have the option of continuing on to Lafayette BART instead of returning – it is almost all downhill to Lafayette from Moraga.
This is an Out-And-Back from CV to Moraga via Redwood Road. Great cycling roads the whole way. There is a bail option to go on to Orinda BART if you took BART to the start, and you don’t want to do the climbs back to CV.

Tour of Lamorinda
2022-06-04 11:00 - 15:30 | Orinda Library, 26 Orinda Way, Orinda, CA, 94563, United States
Saturday, June 4th
Start in Orinda and ride the best cycling roads of the area.
1000 or 3000 ft, approx 16 or 35 miles.
Meet at 10:45 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 11:00 am from Orinda. We start with a fairly moderate route, and then offer a more challenging second loop. We start with an easy climb over to Moraga, to Lafayette via the mostly downhill bike trail, then back to Orinda. Then those who wish to continue with a more challenging route will ride out Miner Rd to Happy Valley, to Bear Creek, Alhambra Valley, and Camino Diablo back to Orinda. 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.
