5M - Livermore - Mines - Mt. Hamilton - Sierra Loop - 110 miles, approx. 9600', 8:00am start. Advanced Ride.
Starting from the Old Nob Hill parking lot on the corner of Pacific and Livermore Ave, we will ride up Mines Rd to San Antonio Valley Road and climb the east side of Mt. Hamilton. From there we have a long descent down to the next big climb, the infamous Sierra Rd. We will crest Sierra and descend down Felter to the Calaveras Wall and ride back via Calaveras and Pleasanton Sunol Rd to Vineyard and back thru Livermore.
Since the Junction Cafe is still closed, there will be a water stop at the CDF station just before the Junction around mile 29. The next opportunity for water and vending machines is the top of Hamilton around mile 48. Please make sure to bring plenty of food and water as stops will be 2+ hrs apart.
The ride can be shortened by doing an out and back on Mines rd.
