Cool, your headed through my stomping grounds…Livermore. Wish I could make it but getting out on weekend are hard enough. Mines Road is a good ride, lots of bicycle traffic on the weekends and not flat, okay compared to Diablo, Hamilton or the coast it's flat. You need to get out to Tracy and beyond, say camp at Caswell State Part, to experience flat flat lands.
Your route through Livermore looks good, I commute part of it daily. One change I offer to suggest is where you get on Stanley Rd. Stanley Rd is a constant work in progress and major commute artery to Pleasanton I just stay on the trail, go under the bridges, hang a BIG left to keep on that trail. This will empty on the new multi-use path on Stanley and you are back on track. Much nicer than Stanley. You can see this the map. There is also camping at Del Valle recreational area. You'll pass the intersection to Del Valle when you are on Mines Road and Del Valle Road happens to be the biggest climb for miles around…if you feel the urge to do some climbing… Regards, Ray On Feb 1, 10:17 pm, Manuel Acosta <[email protected]> wrote: > Mike asked me about a s240 trip to Mt.Ham.
