Valley Spokesmen ride held every other Wednesday starting at San Ramon Central Park and riding up to Walnut Creek via the Mt. Diablo Junction. After a refreshment brak at Sweet Affair bakery we return on a flatter route through Alamo and Danville.

Valley Spokesmen club ride on Mondays and Wednesdays from Heather Farm park in Walnut Creek and using various routes. The track here also includes my ride to/from the club ride.

Valley Spokesmen club ride held on the first Sunday of each month starting at San Ramon Central Park and heading around the outskirts of Livermore before returning through Pleasanton and Dublin.

Nice 5 1/2 hour hike through jungle and occasional farms. Lots of little critters and interesting plants to see. This is located on the road north of Mon Cham so you need to turn off before the MonCham road and loop around the back. Bring plenty of water because it is hot. If you're lucky you'll have some cloud cover and that means you should have some sort of rain protection.

W większości miejsc już kiedyś byłem. Nowością był głównie stary cmentarz mennonicki w Stogach. Robi wrażenie - to największy mennonicki cmentarz na Żuławach. Ponad 260 mogił i 90 tablic, głównie z połowy XIX wieku. Szkoda że nie znam niemieckiego, na tablicach są czasem całe życiorysy.

Valley Spokesmen club ride starting at the Bollinger Canyon Park&Ride lot and heading up to Lafayette before doing the Moraga - Orinda loop with a refreshment stop at Theater Square.

Short, 1 hour hike starting at the trailhead of the Pilgrim's Trail hike. A different hike to change things up from the Palaad version. Leaves cover the trail quite a bit so make sure you're staying on it. This time of year there's a good stretch of burned area. The cut back from one road to the other near the end requires that you walk around a fence. Just look for the opening.

This is a very nice, 3 hour hike from the first rest stop on the road to Doi Suthep Temple, to the Temple itself. You can park just below the zoo and follow the same creek for an extra 20 minutes or so but we drove to here for time. The trail is pretty well marked except for a couple of spots that had us turning around a little.

Outing of the East Bay Casual Hikers starting at Skyline Gate in Redwood Regional Park. Our trip was mainly on the French trail on the way out, a lunch stop along Redwood Creek, and returning on the Stream and Phillips Loop trails.

I hiked the Red Trail, Dark Blue Trail and Light Blue Trail in an anti-clockwise circle.
It is a walk in the woods. There are no vistas or streams or scenic waterfalls. Great for trail running or just to get some exercise. Trail is in good condition and wide.
