The Route

This route starts with a climb up the three bears on Bear Creek Road, then we descend into Pinole and Hercules where we will stop for coffee, and come back the way we came but turning to climb up San Pablo Dam Road to get back to Orinda. The first climb is a doozy, but its easier after that!

This is a training ride designed to get riders ready for the Cycle to Zero ride. Route is compliments of the East Bay Wildcats!
