Mt. Hamilton RR - Sunday May 24 - Riding back to SJ
After doing the Mt. Hamilton RR on Sunday, I plan to ride back to the start in SJ.
Can anyone tell me if this route is completely bikeable?

Also, anyone else who is racing and wants to ride back with me, let me know.
Thanks,
Chris

That route on 84 sucks for riding. It's got a lot of traffic and no sholder. It might be a bit better on the part that they recently widened but I only rode the old one once...
Instead, follow concannon to isabel, south to vinyard, and take vinyard to pleasanton. There, Bernal to Sunol blvd to Foothill, and take that to Niles cyn. A left there takes you under the freeway and onto Calaveras rd.

I don't know about the route, but I'm racing the 5s and my dad is going to be at the finish to drive me back. If you want a ride, just let me know, we've got room for another bike!
