Del Valle Reservoir in Livermore-Ebike with No Cars-Ebike trails only!

We will ebike the hills around Lake Del Valle on fire roads as well as single track trails. These trails are rather steep in places, and so a high torque mid-drive ebike or strong rear hub drive is recommended. We will not be speeding on these trails, so pace will be leisurely, as the scenery is spectacular. There are easy, intermediate, and hard trails. If you prefer easy trails, text me. We can find a way for all rider abilities. Bring your picnic lunch, as we will stop in a nice spot in the hills to eat lunch. Estimate 20 mile total ebike ride distance, with hilly conditions, so a second ebike battery may be necessary, depending on how much you pedal. Numerous wildlife will be encountered. Wild turkeys, deer, birds of all sorts. Bring binoculars if you like. Spectacular views of the lake from numerous lookouts.

All departure and return times are approximated. Please keep this in mind if you were going to make plans to return at a certain time, which is discouraged.

Park either just outside the park and ebike in for free, or pay day use fee at the Kiosk and then turn right to meetup point at the boat launch parking lot in front of the boat store. Ask ranger at kiosk for directions to boat launch, if needed.

ARRIVE: 9:45 AM to meet and greet at boat launch/store parking lot.
[Restrooms available.]
LEAVING: 10:00 AM sharp.
Return: around 3:00 PM

I will be RVing in the campground from Wednesday to Saturday. If you have an RV or tent, you can camp any or all of these days. BBQ and partying is planned. I have RV with electricity so anyone can come and recharge their ebike batteries at my camp site. There are generally always spots available, with RV hookup sites the hardest to get, so reserve early. If you cannot ebike on Saturday, let me know, and we can ebike together on Wednesday-Friday May 28-30.

Note that there is no cell service in the park. If you need to contact me, please do it before 9:30am by telephone or email. Note that I have a Starlink system with high speed internet that is available for anyone that comes to the campground. Paul Trainer (650) 387-8502 or paulwtrainer@gmail.com
