Martinez to Davis via Pleasants Valley. It's time for the 4th Annual Halloween ride to Davis! Please join us for a romp through the beautiful fall countryside. Starting in Martinez we will cross the Benicia Bridge, ride up through Cordelia and around Fairfield, follow rural Pleasants Valley Rd. to Winters, and end in Davis. Lunch is optional in Winters or Davis. A relaxing ride on the Capitol Corridor Amtrak train will take us back to Martinez.
Bring water, food, money and a PHOTO ID (mandatory to purchase an Amtrak ticket). No services between Fairfield and Winters so please plan accordingly at the rest stops.
Rain cancels, look for an email the morning of the ride.
It is HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to take the first train back when you arrive in Davis to spread out the number of bikes on the trains. Trains leave at 2:25 pm, 3:50 pm, 4:55 pm, 5:55 pm and 7:25 pm; fare is $16. Over 62 - $13.60. Please note: Amtrak no longer offers a group discount.
Everyone MUST have a PHOTO ID otherwise you will not be allowed on the train. The return trip home is 43 minutes.
Please show your Halloween spirit and dress in costume to add to the fun. Nearly everyone dressed up last year and we were a ghoulish sight to be seen!!
Meet at the first parking lot on the left inside the Martinez Waterfront Park, off Joe DiMaggio Drive, across the railroad tracks, near the Martinez Amtrak Station.
URL & Route Sheet will be posted soon.
