Thanks. It was my 3rd Grizzly Peak in a row but this year had the best weather and the clearest views of the Bay. Last year was foggy and frisky. I invited a So. Cal. friend to the ride, the scenery was definetely worth the drive.

there are a whole series of these back roads on the s/w side of Sonora and you can create routes as short or as long as you want ... although after the Giro ride, I'm not sure I want too long of a ride

Here's the spot on Welch Creek Rd. about halfway to the summit where some of us (me included!) decided "that was fun, let's turn around now".
Some soldiered on, though.

We did a ride that started in Milpitas, that went straight up Sierra, then over to Calaveras, and on to Welch Creek. I happen to skip that road, and went on to lunch. Laura, later came up to me, and said I was the smartest rider of the group. That climb is just senseless.
