Scenic Sunday - Redwood Loop from Shannon

Don’t let the Spirited title discourage you! Spirited Saturday just means that we’re riding, NOT racing, but also not lollygagging. Come join us for a longer ride from Dublin with some climbing and nice views on Skyline/Grizzly Peak. Option to shorten the ride by 12 miles and avoid the biggest climbs (but you’d also miss the views) by going through Moraga to Orinda and reconnecting with the route there.
