Maybe this? 32 miles. 1800 feet of climbing.

Pig Farm the hard way. Hmmmm....... maybe.

I really wanna buzz down San Pablo Dam Road all the way into El Sobrante and see what's that way. Looks like Appian Way will reconnect me with familiar routes, but that might be a bit ambitious ands more miles than I think. Plus, I have a dim recollection of Appian Way being steep on the El Sobrante end up to hwy 80.

This sounds good, but I'm planning on putting in a 70+mile ride in this Saturday AM that will likely start at a time of day that isn't very compatible with the Slow Poke ethos.

Where are you starting, and what time? By "slowpoke", I mean "me". If there's a lot of climbing and stuff, I don't mind - but I'll likely hang you up and ruin your ride.
