Hi all! Let's do this again! By special request of BlueTyke, we're going to shoot for Saturday, June 27th.
We're going to head out to Mines just like last month.
Mines is a terribly fun road, away from much of the population and unfettered by driveways or even other traffic. It also gives us a number of good options for people who have more or less time to do different ride variants that day. We can meet once again at the Starbucks on South Vasco Road in Livermore at 10 AM:
Option 1: Those who want a bunch more miles can head east on Del Puerto out to Patterson. Del Puerto is a terrifically fun road! From there we can just double back west to the Junction, or some can head back via I-5 in Patterson if they are short of time.
Option 2: We can continue south on Mines from the Junction to head up Mt. Hamilton Road, which will take us down into San Jose on the other side. From there people can get right to 680 to head home.
Option 3: Folks always have the option to just turn back and head north on Mines, heading right back to Livermore.
There's no need to decide now, or even that morning; we can all decide what works for each of us while we're eating at the Junction. I hope a bunch of us can make it, I always enjoy these Mines group rides and it's a simply perfect road for our ninjettes.
Here's a writeup with some pictures of this same ride last month!

and we will ride out of the parking lot at 10:30 AM. There is gas a few blocks from the *$, so make sure to come with a full tank. The route will take us all the way down Mines to the Junction, and we should be there by 11:30 - 11:45 at the latest for lunch. After lunch at the Junction we have 3 options, all of which are on the table. 223 South Vasco Road
