Three Bears Bike Ride, Sunday June 29, 8:30 am
Edit: start time 8:30
Details:
Meet Orinda BART station 8am. (to beat the heat of the day) Ride will end at Concord BART station.
Distance: unknown. I haven't got new comp on my bike yet and right now it's decided I need to know time, not trip mileage.
Duration: The ride took me 2.5 hrs last time.
Difficulty: hard to say. I don't consider myself anything other than beginner, but I'm mulish and there are some hills. Taking San Pablo to Bear Creek Rd and turn right onto Bear Creek. There are 3 longish hills at moderate grade (i.e. not as gentle as rolling hills but no switch backs). Then miles of riding. Then the short steep hill that has a pig farm on it. (I didn't see pigs, I'm taking everyone else's word on this). Pretty easy from there out.
Bring water. I had 1 water bottle last time and found I wished I had a bit more at the end. Recommend a snack, too.
Helmet required by law.
No earphones.
Bring spare tube and/or patch kit.
Recommend you carry ID, credit card and some cash.
We'll wait at the top of hills for stragglers and let them catch their breath before we move onward.
