Madmike2 and I are planning to ride to Mt. Hamilton on Saturday April 23. For those of you who observe Easter weekend this might be a conflict, but if you're into riding some great countryside, it could be a nice opportunity to get together and enjoy the best green of Spring in California. Here is the plan:
Sacramento riders will meet at the Laguna Blvd 76 station in Elk Grove, time to be determined. We will ride to the Delta hwy 160, through Isleton, to arrive in Antioch at the intersection of Lone Tree Rd. and Deer Valley Rd at the Chevron Station about an hour later. This is an ideal location to meet up with most Bay Area riders.
Plan for kick stands Up in Laguna at 9:00 AM. Leaving Lone Tree in Antioch at 10:00 AM.
If anyone want the Garmin route file send a PM with your email. Otherwise, the route is shown here on Google Maps.
From there, the plan is to head south on Deer Valley to Marsh Creek Rd, then jog west to Morgan Territory Road. This is a narrow winding road at the foot of Mt. Diablo and very interesting. We will continue to head south to Livermore and exit south on Vallecitas Rd. From Livermore, the route is a loop that includes Calavaras Road, Sierra Road, Mt. Hamilton and Mines Road returning to Livermore where we will likely part company with the Bay Area riders. The Sacramento riders continue north to Hwy 4 and travel to I-5.
We could add a meetup point in Livermore if needed, and so far, I don't know where we might want to stop for lunch, or if we should just pack food. For the Sacramento riders this is almost 320 miles not counting arriving at the meeting place. Considering the roads, have a few twisties, this will be a long ride.
Please offer suggestions for lunch and route changes. PM your email if you want a Mapsource file with the route. If this weekend doesn't work for you, we will hope to catch you on the next trip.
