Bike Ride Description
A wonderful journey up into Morgan Territory Regional Preserve. Starting at Pleasant Hill bart station, through the "old west" town of CLAYTON... up Marsh Creek Road and Morgan Territory Rd (oak & pine shaded, twisty climbing; badly paved for 9 miles with some 15% grades mixed in)...to the TOP of the preserve (approx 2000 feet elevation) where there is water and bathrooms and tables to sit at, snack and feel smug. Then you enjoy a "world class" twisting descent (1500 feet in 3 or 4 miles at 40+mph using your brakes)...then a wonderful set of rolling roads (Manning, Highland), just perfect for paceline riding into the usually stiff breezes. Back thru DANVILLE (with obligatory Peet's coffee stop!). Then back to the bart station of your choosing... in this case LAFAYETTE bart.

Just a great ride with a full range of terrains. Challenging but do-able. A great group ride for riders who enjoy hills.
