Mt. Diablo Loop | North Gate Up/South Gate Down | 37 miles, 3800' gain

Time for the classic climb up Mt. Diablo! I am making it a loop this time for more mileage and in order to ride part of the Iron Horse Trail.

Park in the neighborhood near North Gate entrance. It is a steady climb without elevation loss. The descent is nice, mostly down with some short flat parts.

Climb as fast as you wish. We will meet at the top for a snack/bathroom/view stop. After our descent we'll go to the Danville Peet's a favorite cyclist hangout, but we'll be there later in the day so it won't be crowded.

E-bikers welcome although this is a standard cycling group.

We loop around to Walnut Creek and ride back to the start.

Social Pace not a Race on the flats. About 12-16 MPH.
