Not crazy about the stretch through Castro Valley, but I knew it was coming so I just had to cope. <br /><br />I think the route markings got a little dicey in Livermore. A bunch of us missed a key right turn and head 3-4 miles off into the sunset before it dawned on us that we were off route. Also towards the end they began to cut the route arrows (literally) because they had started to run out. Some route finding challenges in Lafeyette. All and all a good ride!Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05531771606722287792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12029978.post-59266831968594532462010-04-26T10:06:29.625-07:002010-04-26T10:06:29.625-07:00Curtis,

I live in San Jose and have ridden over Hamilton out to Modesto, as well as an annual Hamilton-Livermore-Calaveras loop. WIll be unique and fun to do it from the reverse direction. Appreciate the insight.<br />-johnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12029978.post-80315456012533304732010-04-26T09:29:36.394-07:002010-04-26T09:29:36.394-07:00The Canyon Classic 100 mile version (without Hamil...The Canyon Classic 100 mile version (without Hamilton) was really pretty. We rode last year after a rainstorm. Threat of rain must have kept a lot of riders away because we felt like we were riding alone. That said, it was a nice enough route we think we'll do it again.<br />Read:<br />http://ccorlew.blogspot.com/2009/06/canyon-classic-century-2099.htmlCurtis Corlewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415639856823138391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12029978.post-63528617293899868792010-04-26T09:18:08.532-07:002010-04-26T09:18:08.532-07:00Don't feel too bad....I planned on the full 10...Don't feel too bad....I planned on the full 100 miles but bailed at Livermore and did the 100km....I blew up too early, following 2 fast guys up Morgan Territory to the summit. I'd never ridden any of these roads, so I had no idea how to pace myself. Do what I did - rationalize that this was just a training ride for the next century! I'd never ridden out there, so all the roads where new to me. Question, I saw somewhere that you have ridden the Canyon Classic Century. What do you think of that event? I felt like I was riding alone at the Diablo. Sure, I started right at 6:30, but saw no one after I went to the 100km route.<br />-johnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
