So after a hearty breakfast at a nearby diner,we set out for the last time of this trip.
We take the 101 for a short distance,then we hit the GREAT biking roads: Indian Valley Road, (13 miles), Peach Tree Road (22 miles), Airline Highway-25 (36 miles). Awesome!
On my first trip out here with Carol, this was the road that we were told by Tyler we couldn't miss, which meant we ended up riding in the dark & cold to Yosemite. At that time I didn't think I would ever be back-but here I am again,enjoying what is just a great bit of riding-does life get any better?
even though it is a Friday,quite a few bike groups pass us the other way-a testament to its popularity.
We stop for gas at Tres Pinos. I'm beginning to dislike this town as it was here 3 years ago Carol & I said goodbye to Tyler & Dorothy and here I am again saying goodbye to Dona ;o(
Our final group photo
We ride together up to the junction of 101 & 680 and then with tears in my eyes wave adiós to Dona.
We arrive back at Pleasanton, in good time for sue's conference call. Scott changes out of his biking gear and takes the truck,whilst I follow him to return the bike to Dubbelju.
Todays AWESOME route
