ALC Orinda to Hercules

The AIDS Lifecycle 2014 training season has begun! And with it, I begin coaxing new (and potentially new) riders into building enough endurance to survive a 545-mile ride.

It was a lovely day, albeit chilly in the early morning hours. The sun was out and the roads were clear. It was a simple ride - just up San Pablo Dam Road, through Pinole and into Hercules - and back again. "Only" 28 miles. This is how we train people: start off with small steps and increase the effort little by little until, before you know it, we're riding 100 miles and up to the top of Mt Diablo.

If this looks interesting to you, come join us! There's no cost and no obligation to be registered for AIDS Lifecycle.
