Ride Start: Highlands County Park off Highway 9 in Ben Lomond.
This will be slightly shorter than my usual OFKRB rides. I have been catching up on my cross-training since a tough September cycling touring schedule, but still need to "stay in the game" with a short recovery ride. If you are thirsty for more punishment, though, stay posted. I will list my DRT for Saturday.
Map/route here.

Join me as I explore the various grizzly bear options. Meet at the Almaden light rail station near the corner of Coleman and Winfield, behind the Almaden Lake Apartments at the north/west corner. There will be a coffee/snack stop along the way.

Meet at the Carmel Ski Club Lodge at 11815 Deerfield Drive in Truckee. Ride will start at 10:00 but come early and I will have coffee brewing. Today we will do a loop around Truckee and Tahoe Donner before loading up and driving home to the bay area. Rooms are available at the lodge for $30 per night per person including a small chore (taking out the garbage, etc.). Shared men’s bathroom and women’s bathroom. Alternately, The Inn at Truckee is a few blocks away. We will meet at the lodge for cocktails in the evening to talk about the following day’s route and will host a meal or two at the lodge. Contact ride leader if interested.

Note: route change due to work on the Guadalupe Creek trail; also detours behind Sunnyvale Recycling to avoid deep gravel. Let's meet at 10:00 am at the entrance to the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden on Naglee between Bascom and Park. We'll make our way to the Stevens Creek Trail, SF Bay Trail, San Tomas Aquino Trail, and make our way to Bibo's for lunch, about 2 miles from the ride start. Rain or bad air quality cancels. Note: Faster riders ride at M or faster and go off the front.
