FALL FUN SERIES MORAGA – PINEHURST   C/3.5/40; D/4/52 (Easier Berkeley Hills)

This is a variant of the traditional Berkeley Hills ride, in a less challenging form. The route starts with the fabulous Pinehurst climb, instead of doing Pinehurst after lunch. The route starts from Moraga instead of Berkeley. Skyline and Grizzly Peak are still on the menu for all rides, while the D ride still climbs the “three bears”, “Pig Farm Hill” and Reliez Valley Road. Several lunch options at the end, at the Rheem Valley Shopping Center. Rain or extreme heat cancels.   Fall Fun Series Routes/GPS map files.
