FYI, since it is raining. "Trips for Kids" on 4th street in SanRafael, is having HALF off sale today at 10:00. I definitely saw a few things yesterday, that the Sacramento Vintage Camelian Wheelmen would be interested in.
If you leave now, you can be there by ten.

For you folks that are not on Facebook:
Planning a vintage bike ride to the top of Mount Hamilton in San Jose, CA. The ride will be on Saturday, the 27th of April and will start at 10am at the corner of Alum Rock Ave. and Mt. Hamilton Rd. There's parking right on the corner. It's roughly a 36 mile ride up and back, with the worst grades around 6% with just under 5000 ft of climbing. There's a park halfway through the ride for water and bathrooms (Grant Park) and vending machines at the top in the Observatory for drinks and snacks (also a water fountain for refilling bottles). About halfway through the ride, it levels out and there's some downhill into a valley (Grant Park) so you get a climbing break. Ride at your own pace and rain cancels, but hopefully the rain will be long gone by then!
Here's the ride with GPS:

Ride this Saturday!
With the weather getting nicer, we are back to our 9 a.m. start. We are using the traditional upriver route. 25 miles with about 1100 feet of accumulated climbing on bike trail grades. Conversational pace. We usually average about a 15 mph moving speed and we have several regroups. I depart at 8 a.m. from the Guy West Bridge and bike to the ride start if you want to join me for extra miles.
Ride start/end location: Starbucks parking lot in Gold River-2095 Golden Centre Ln, Gold River, CA 95670
Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/40441105
Also, Joe and Rich are putting together a Mt. Hamilton adventure on April 27th. The info is in one of the recents posts on this thread.
