Ride Details: This is Ride #7 of 11 of the Feather Pedals Cinderella Conditioning Ride Series. This 45.5-mile ride goes out to Calaveras via Happy Valley and Foothill and returns via Pleasanton Sunol. . It is a beautiful ride that has a climb and then beautiful rolling hills out by Calaveras Dam. It is a little challenging but well worth it. This is an out and back so you can turn around at any point. We will regroup at Tyler Ranch in Sunol, at the false summit and at the top of the wall. On the way back, we will regroup at the false summit and at the Sunol Corner Market with porta-potties and drinks. Lunch is at one of the many restaurants in the shopping center. There is Plucked Chicken & Beer, The Habit Burger & Grill and Sourdough & Co. and Panda Express and many others. Mike's Bikes will be open just for us in the morning and has a restroom.
