Del Valle Regional Park

Hey all you Hikers and Bikers!

This weekend, March 1st, at 1oam, we are meeting at Del Valle in Livermore at the Arroyo Road trailhead for a 10 mile out and back mountain bike ride along East Shore Trail to Badger Cove, OR a 5 mile out and back hike! We may stop at Wente Winery afterward for a little "refreshment" (since it's a block from the trailhead!). It looks like we will have sunny weather and a large group! Be sure to check back after the hike for the photos (courtesy of Laura Nichols - our official Hike and Bike photographer)!

Hike on with your bad selves!!!

P.S. - next weekend we will be vacationing at a lovely little cabin in the Redwoods so we will not be hiking or biking...at least not here!

Rain, Rain, go away!!

Well fellow hikers and bikers - looks like we're going to get rained out this weekend! We may still run out for a quick hike if the clouds part, but everyone is on their own! The weather is a bit too "iffy" to plan anything.

We're up to 8 miles logged! (12 if you biked the last one) And that's not bad considering we're just getting started!

Just a note: The hikes will probably get increasingly difficult as our "fitness level" increases (except for the kid friendly hikes). And since we can't all always make the specific hike times/places - no need to get behind on the mileage! If you make it out this weekend (or any other time), feel free to post your own adventures and miles logged on the blog!

Happy Trails!!

Redwood Regional Park






Yesterday we hiked a 4 mile loop at Redwood Regional Park in the Oakland hills. It's amazing that there is such a gem of a redwood forest right in the middle of the bay area! It was beautiful! Laura and I hiked it while Rob biked the more strenuous 8 mile loop.
