Lee Blake has planned a great breakfast meeting and ride for April:
The Waffle Shop, 2727 Pinole Valley Rd, Pinole, CA 94564 ph510-758-6171 (meet at 8:30am).
The name Pinole Valley derives from "pinole", a Native American word for a kind of flour made from the seeds of maize, chia, and various other grasses and annual herbs. An expedition under Don Pedro Fages was said to have run out of provisions while exploring the area, and been fed pinole by a local village, and so the Spaniards named their camp "El Pinole".
After breakfast we’ll do a casual ride south along a few of the scenic canyons and crests. Most of us have gone thru the Caldecott Tunnel, but how many have ridden over it? Roughly 43 miles of picturesque curves and twisties ending in Castro Valley not far from 580.
