Well seems like only Sunday ride starts a bit too late for me (plus I am too lazy to drive), so I thought I would just do my own thing.

The plan is to roll out around 6:30 am. Figured it will be around 3 hour ish.

P.S. If anyone wants to join me let me know.

I've been on this route before, and its great. Very quiet for the most part, with smooth roads.

Gee, Google says it should only take you an hour and forty-two minutes! :rolleyes:

Well that was a three hour ride. Wow hicks gets pretty steep towards the top! Even with 34/23 I was zig zagging. Pretty much every cyclist I encountered waved at me. Was kind of weird, usually it's just one or two. Not stopping at red lights every four minutes was a big plus also. Damn I am going to miss NorCal when I go back to Orange County. :(

Looks nice, I've done hiking around Calero Reservoir, nice but it can get quite hot.
