Club Ride - November 22, 2008 - Berkeley to San Ramon to Danville, to Orinda

All club members met up on Saturday morning for a long east bay loop with some members of the Bezerkeley Bicycle Cooperative. Taking off from Left Coast Cyclery at 9:00 am, we headed up Tunnel Road to the east bay hills ridge. After heading south on Skyline along the ridge, we dropped down Redwood Road and rolled all the way to Castro Valley. We then rode over to Crow Canyon Road, and then climbed up steep and beautiful Norris Canyon. Club Hawkwind had arrived for the first time in San Ramon, and then rolled up to Danville Peets for hot drinks and snacks among 100 other east bay cyclists. We were asked "Where in Canada is Hawkwind?" by a woman who admitted that she loved the land up north.

Pretending we had enough energy to make it all the way home, we rode with Pete and Narda back through Lafayette to Orinda, where we precipitously decided to take the Bart back to Oakland. As Narda dropped us off at the station she remarked, "I guess you'd call that Hawkwinded."
