Ride Details
Two rides choices, Group A and Group B. Group A will ride at a moderate to brisk pace and have some steep climbing. Group B will move at a leisurely pace with frequent regroups and will be on gentle rolling grades. Both rides will start and end at Livermore’s Ernie Rodrigues Softball Field. Water and restrooms are available there.
It’s Mother’s Day Weekend and both groups will have the opportunity to stop at 3 Steves Winery in Livermore (5700 Greenville Rd, Livermore). 3 Steves plans to have a food truck available and, naturally, there will be wine available. It is a beautiful location with nice outdoor sitting and a tasting room. We highly recommend spending some time there.
