orchards, cornfields and dairy farms of rural Escalon, right on
the way to Yosemite!
We have family-friendly intermediate ride loops planned on
mostly level terrain, totaling fourty five (45) miles. Hammerheads don't despair! Each loop has additional distance just for you,
giving you a total of 65 miles. The first ride of 15 miles skirts the limits of Escalon, and turns back thru the center of town for the return
to our first course of delicious soup. The second ride of 30 miles goes east thru Oakdale and crosses the Stanislaus River into Riverbank. Then we will return for our last meal of cool salad, Lasagna and dessert. For those who want more exercise, we have a quick six mile ride thru another quiet
country corner just down-the-road, and back to the Giffords
for dessert and socializing.
Plan on a 1 hour drive from Dublin. Take I-580 east over the Altamont Pass. Bear left on I-205 east thru Tracy. Catch I-5 north for 2 miles to the Rte.120 east exit towards Manteca.
Bear right onto Rte. 99 south. Exit Jack Tone Road, go east (left). Turn right onto River Road. Go approx. 10 miles. Turn right on Burwood Lane, which becomes Road at the 90 degree left curve.
A couple hundred feet and we are on the left in the big white house under the tall trees. Welcome!
The day’s activities will begin at 10:00 a.m. at the Giffords -22549 Burwood Road, Escalon, CA, 95320.
