Now I'm trying longer distances, I'm starting to work out where I can replenish my water bottles. Despite having ridden there countless times, I can't recall seeing many places in Tilden park to fill a water bottle. I think there's one in the parking lot by the steam trains, and then further down Grizzly Peak at Sibley (perhaps?).

Can anyone confirm this/tell me of any others? Thnx

I know there's one on Wildcat Canyon just before you get to South Park. Sibley is also an option.

There's one in front of the public bathroom accross the street from the Botanic Garden at Wildcat Canyon and South Park Drive, I use all the time.

Thanks guys - I ended up using the spigot at Sibley yesterday morning -- my first 50mile ride (!).

There's also one on Tunnel Rd / Skyline Blvd, as you climb up the hill towards Sibley (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=tunnel+road,+oakland,+ca&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=40.001301,59.326172&ie=UTF8&ll=37.860116,-122.210712&spn=0.019516,0.028968&t=h&z=15&layer=c&cbll=37.851957,-122.212223&panoid=ETEHtp3LRuuoJMruI08WfQ&cbp=1,280.0122237048353,,0,17.018774070584872). It must be private, and it's definitely random.
