*This ride is a replacement for the previously posted Davis ride*
This very hilly and moderate-paced ride will start at the plaza outside the Pleasant Hill BART Station, then head west to Clayton to start a clockwise loop around the remote and beautiful outskirts of Mount Diablo. Bring your lunch and snacks to enjoy at mile 23 at the top of Morgan Territory Road where there is water and restrooms, but no food source. Around mile 35 we will rejoin civilization and then make a pit stop in Danville at mile 44 before proceeding north along the Iron Horse Trail back to BART.
This ride has significant elevation and few good bail-out spots, so please make sure your bike and all your gears are in good working order ahead of time.
