Iron Horse Trail - Pleasanton to Concord! (~25 miles) (Ride #112)

Hey Everybody!

Join us for our 6th bike ride on the Iron Horse Trail! Now with a BYO picnic lunch! Most of this route is on a separated paved trail that used to be a rail line, though there are many road crossings. This time, we will join the Contra Costa Canal Trail in Walnut Creek, which will bring us close to Concord BART. There is a short on-road segment to complete the ride.

NOTA BENE: this is a one-way ride, so we will not be returning to our starting point. For those who may need to return to the start, BART allows bicycles on the train, so you could ride BART back.

TIME: Meet at 9:59am at the Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station (the end of the line) (take any train that arrives before 10, and most EB folks will need to transfer!) Meet in the plaza across and to the left from the fare gates.
RIDE DISTANCE: ~25 miles
ELEVATION GAIN: ~200’ (very flat)
LISTED END TIME IS APPROXIMATE!!!!!!!

BRING YOUR OWN LUNCH!!! We will stop to eat our own lunches at Civic Park in Walnut Creek, about 2/3 of the way through the ride.

We'll ride at a moderate pace and make brief stops to keep the group together. Please dress appropriately for the forecast and bring water as well as LUNCH!

Please only RSVP “Yes” if you plan to come. If you can’t make it, update your RSVP so any folks on the waitlist can participate. No shows = no bueno. 😀
