Story
Valley Spokesmen club ride to the summit of Mt. Hamilton and back from the intersection of Alum Rock and Mt. Hamilton rds. Beautiful warm day for the ride as one of our members celebrated his birthday by treating us to sandwiches at the top with help from his daughters who drove up with the goodies.[Note: the last 9 pictures were taken by another rider (thanks 'Cyclista Sue') and appear out of order and in approx. locations since the cameras weren't synched.]
