Game Plan

Ok folks, here's the plan...

The Challenge starts on April 15th at Lake Del Valle and ends at the park behind VMS....100km later. There will be a "party" at the end(details later). If you plan to run/ride any segment with me, please do so! I'll be moving at my own pace, so feel free to run slower/faster as your needs dictate. It's not a race.

You'll need to provide your own support (staging, water, fuel, etc).

Here are the details:

Timeline

All times approximate (but of course)
0615: Run starts at Del Valle Ohlone Trail trailhead (0 Miles)
1015: Run reaches Sunol Regional Park and continues towards Mission Peak (20 miles)
1135: Finish at Stanford Avenue trailhead (28 miles)
1145: Ride starts from Stanford Avenue parking lot
1345-1400: Ride finishes at Vista Meadow park (35 miles ride and 63 miles or 100km total)

The Run route is along the Ohlone Wilderness Trail, 28 miles and 7800 feet elevation gain, from Lake Del Valle through Sunol Regional Park and ends at the Mission Peak Regional Preserve off Stanford Avenue in Fremont.

The Bike Route follows Old Calavras up a steep climb and then descends down into the tri-valley, up Stanley to Isabel, then via surface streets to end at the park immediately behind VMS. If you are riding, please click on the link and figure out what your map needs are. Print it out if necessary!

This is going to be fun, folks! Thanks for everyone's support and participation!
