Coast to Coast Ride

Saturday, February 11, 2012

Big ride today! Michele, Pepi, Roy, and I went out to Concord on BART to ride Morgan Territory Road. The weather was cold with some threat of rain. We worked our way through residential parts of Concord to get to Clayton Road. The road gets smaller as it climbs toward Mt. Diablo. We crossed a ridge and coasted down to the turn off for Morgan Territory. That road shrinks to one land and winds through the forests on the east side of Mt. Diablo. It's a long climb, 2000 feet I would guess. There are huge views at the top of the Livermore and Pleasanton valleys and back toward San Pablo Bay. We couldn't see much at the top for clouds, but we had some vistas before and after the top. The descent on the other side is breathtaking, and freezing today. The ride totaled about 42 difficult miles.
