Story
Valley Spokesmen club ride starting at the Danville Park&Ride lot and heading northwest through Alamo and Walnut Creek to Lafayette and Orinda. After a stop at Theater Square, we continued up Wildcat Canyon Rd past Inspiration Pt. to Grizzly Peak Rd. in Berkeley and took it south to Skyline. We took Skyline through various regional parks along the ridgeline while enjoying beautiful views of San Francisco Bay below. Then our route took us on a nice descent of Redwood Rd. followed by a climb and another descent on Pinehurst before taking Canyon Rd. into Moraga. We stopped for snacks at the Commons before continuing on St. Mary's Rd. to Reliez Station and Olympic Ave. and then returned on the same route we had taken on our way out.
