Celebrate the arrival of Fall -- FLASH -->update - !

MEET:---> 8:45 am -- Pleasanton Senior Center
ROLL:----> 9:00 am

**"Summer" is now officially behind us and the Tri-Valley awaits the cool morning rides that defined the arrival of the fall equinox on September 21---but will temps moderate? [yes, they will] Temps early in the week will seem more like the Tri-Valley warm temps we connect to late August.
***A careful look at NOAA/WU/NWS and satellite pics presented a well defined cooling system drifting south but it is being blocked by a rare sub-tropical front touching SoCalif and moving north.

Fall Harvest at Alden Lane Nursery Apple -- UPDATE
*** -- An excellent selection of very special apples are now available at Alden Lane Nursery. Sees pics below! We will make a stop at Alden Lane after visiting Sycamore Grove Park. SUGGEST YOU BRING A SMALL BACKPACK FOR SOME APPLES.

****The suggested ride this week will be a truly mellow-yellow event with minimal climbing and covering around 25+/- miles or so. **The "word-on-the-street" is that some Pedalers will need a bit more conditioning to comfortably enjoy some of the rides that do some climbing...like on Collier Canyon or Cross Rd.
