Anyone up for a southbay jaunt? I got the morning free before i have to login for work [roll]
Route: Start at StarBucks 3103 Alum Rock Ave>Mt Hamilton>Mines>Calaveras
Roads are not newbie friendly. These roads are Goat Trails, tight, technical with lots of hair pin turns, some gravel, may be wet, bicyclists. If that appeals to you, lets ride. [moto]
