I ride the Alameda Bay Farm Loop from Lake Merrit on my easy days. Was thinking of heading up to the Berkeley Marina this afternoon, but while cruising BF before my ride I saw your post and decided to hit it up to enjoy the new asphalt. Most Oaklanders seem to turn around on Bayshore at the restrooms before the ferry, but I like to cruise through the neighborhoods just to ride over that old wooden bridge. Glad to see I am not alone!!
