Story
Valley Spokesmen club ride starting at Diablo Vista Park and heading through downtown Danville and then north to Pleasant Hill and Martinez. Alhambra Valley road took us up 'Pig Farm' hill (although there haven't been any pigs for decades) and to Bear Creek Rd past Briones Rsvr. and up and over the '3 Bears' before dropping down to Orinda for our refreshment stop at Theater Square. Our return used the St. Stephens bike path to get to Lafayette and then it was back along the Blvd. to Danville. I rode to the start so the route shown here doesn't go back to Diablo Vista.
