Mines Road -- In Search Of Wildflowers, Again!

This ride is a 25-mile out (and up) and back), with just one challenging hill at the beginning, and then a couple good rollers just before the Junction. Inbetween, it's flatish with nothing but Sierra Club-calendar like swatches of wildflowers, a small stream that may still be running after all our spring rain (we hope!), and farms and fields and woodland. 

The mileage will be more because we will ride out into San Antonio Valley in search of more wildflowers, before returning to the Junction Cafe for lumch

There are no services/restrooms near the start so you may want to stop somewhere in Livermore on the way. DO NOT SPEED THROUGH DOWNTOWN LIVERMORE -- speeding tickets are a major source of revenue out there. 

Please do RSVP. 

Total elevation: Approximately 3600 ft.
