2008-03-02 Three Bears
|

|


|
|
I organized a BF group ride, this time in the East Bay, incorporating part of the Grizzly Peak Century route. We started at the Pleasant Hill BART station, then took Alhambra Valley to Bear Creek Rd where we rode the Three Bears (Mama, Baby and Papa). We took rollers through El Sobrante, Pinole (where we stopped for lunch), Hercules, and Rodeo. We then rode by the refineries, one last tough hill, and then descended back through Martinez to Pleasant Hill.

37 - Top of Skyline89 viewsHowever, when people got to the top, we had a big discussion about whether to continue with the original plans.
The weather was not in our favor, it was very foggy and slick up at the top on Skyline (photo by Pete).
Eventually we decided that we would seek lower grounds and continue riding where it was nicer out. Some decided to turn around and descend OLH. However, this isn't a great descending road, so the rest of us put on our blinkies and rode a bit down Skyline to 84, where we descended instead. These are busier roads (cars and motorcycles) but nicer for descending.
