Each rider must register and agree to the release of liability agreement to participate in this event.
There will be three rest/refuel stops. The first is around mile 12 at Blue Rock Springs Corridor Park. The second rest stop is at mile 26 at Safeway in the shopping center. The last is an option for riders to stop at mile 48 in the town of Winters at the park in front of Steady Eddy’s restaurant. There may not be a support vehicle this year, so each rider needs to plan to carry enough food and drink to manage between stops.
This is a perfect route to do in the fall. Once we arrive in Davis, we can enjoy good Mexican food at Tres Hermanas, the restaurant that is directly across the street from the train station and has outdoor seating. Then we will hop on the 3:10pm train for a relaxing ride back to Martinez. We should arrive in Martinez at 3:55pm.
Rain or poor air quality cancels. I will send a ride cancel email to the group the morning of the ride if this is the case.
Trains leave Davis at 1:10pm, 3:10pm, 5:10pm. The train trip back to Martinez is 45 minutes.
Fare is $16 and $15 for persons over 65.
You must have PHOTO ID and face mask is recommended for the train ride!
