Any Turkey Day Rides?
I have nothing to do.. all my family is back in Baltimore and my GF may be working most of the day.
Anyone doing any big rides?
I was thinking SF to SJ.. BART is on Sunday hours, so I was going to take it up to SF from Fremont and then head south!

I'm not even sure I can make it up Mt Ham. LOL
Calaveras put the hurt on me the other day...
I'm terrible at climbing.. I've done centuries on a fixed but have trouble climbing with a compact and 16lb bike.. haha.

For a flatter ride in the East Bay, there's the annual Turkey Day ride from Cal Pedaler in Danville. Here's the route and some pictures from a couple years ago:

And a video of the beginning part of last year's ride:

I think I'm going to ride into Milpitas from Fremont, up Calaveras and descend down the other side, then ride 84 for awhile and take Foothill back towards 84/Fremont, then make my way to San Jose to meet my GF for dinner.
If anyone wants to join let me know. I have no idea when I'm leaving.. depends how late I get up or if I have a ride partner or not.

have done the Dublin turkey ride last 3 years and had a blast each year. Group is BIG, fast in the front festive in the back
mindful of the police, they are aware of the ride and keep a close eye.

Where is the start and what time does it roll out? We're over at the in-laws in Antioch so it's either this ride or Danville.

I was thinking of doing a ride on Thursday morning. Starting in Cupertino, around 3-4 hours, depending on weather.

I've got a nice little 62 mile loop planned. But I'm out in the Sac area. If anyone wants to come along they're welcome. 4000ft of climbing though.

Don't mince words
Weather permitting cgallagh, son and I will be doing a Gordon Valley Loop. No climbing per se, mostly flats and some rollers. Easy 40-miler if we leave from downtown Vacaville. If anyone wants to freshen up post-ride PM me for directions to the house. It adds 400' of climbing but that's the trade-off for the exceptional facilities. *cheesy grin*
OTOH we're very fluid, so if this morphs into a Lake Loop we're good with that, too.
