You can see the whole route here! We'll be meeting at the front of Sports Basement Berkeley at 8:45am. Please bring everything you need with you as the store will not be open until we return. Things to keep in mind You'll want proper gravel tires for this ride, so like 32mm minimum width and some knobby tires tread. There are some short steep sections you would not get traction on with road tires, and in the same vein some of the descents would be rough.
