[RBW] Re: Start the summer right. Mixed terrain June 2nd
Think Manny is still out camping so I'll start with the ride reports Normally any ride where I get three flat tires and am plagued by a saddlebag rubbing on the rear wheel would seem pretty frustrating to me, but this ride was so awesome that all of these minor problems paled in comparison to my stoke. Manny lead us on an awesome ride starting from the Fremont BART station, pretty much the southern extremity of the East Bay line. I'd never really biked in Fremont before and I was quickly blown away as we blasted up Niles Canyon to Sunol, a beautiful and fast stretch of road. Stopping in Sunol for supplies and to pet Mayor Bosco for good luck, we headed up driveways and fireroads towards Pleasanton Ridge, which seems to favorite with local MTBers. From there it was rolling fireroads and plentiful singletrack detours as we made our way northwards, through increasingly deserted lands. Somewhere in there I got the first of three flats, which seemed to be related to a bad rim strip. Popping out on Palomares Rd. we bombed the paved descent (who says you can't get aero on Albas?) into Castro Valley for a Safeway lunch. From there Manny took us up on trails around Lake Chabot and the golf course (golf balls!), where the second flat happened. Manny had to get back home to get his camping gear for the evening's S240 so he took as far the southern extremity of Skyline Dr. before dropping down into San Leandro. I lead the rest of us up Skyline and down Joaquin Miller through Montclair to the Rockridge BART station for the rest of the folks to get home to the city. Leaving the BART I felt my rear going flat for the third time, luckily there was an open bike shop right there so I bought another tube and a new Velox rim strip. Got it fixed and rode home, pretty stoked to arrive on my doorstep in Berkeley after riding all the way from Fremont, mostly on trails. An epic day all around. We had a good mix of bikes on this ride, everything from a full-on (monster) cross bike to a couple of well-setup Rando machines, and of course Manny's Hillborne. I was on my new LHT with Albatrosses and 42mm tires, and it was perfect for this ride. Pics to prove it happened, although I seemed to stop taking pictures after Pleasanton Ridge so you'll just have to believe me about that part: http://www.flickr.com/photos/85709120@N07/sets/72157633902639247/ On Thursday, May 23, 2013 10:36:59 PM UTC-7, Manuel Acosta wrote: Start the summer right!

Think I'll make it out for this. Looks pretty remote, I assume I should pack plenty of food/water? On Thursday, May 23, 2013 10:36:59 PM UTC-7, Manuel Acosta wrote: Start the summer right! June 2nd.

Very nice photos. Reminds me of how much fun it was last time. Might try and catch you in Sunol again, but only if I get a lot done today. Too much to do and everything seems to take longer than ..., well you get the idea. If you'r intent on making it to WC this time, are you planing to save some climbing etc by going up Kilkare instead of taking the ridge out of Sunol?

Hey Manny, would love to, but gotta work all that day. Might be doing some camping that night though if youre interested, kinda leaving last minute from SF, prolly around 7ish and maybe heading to the Headlands to sleep outside! If the weather continues to be slightly warm, it could make for a really nice evening out there! -Mike On Fri, May 31, 2013 at 8:20 PM, Manuel Acosta manueljohnaco...@hotmail.com wrote: Still happening.
