Pac Striders Mar 5, 8:30am - Lafayette-Moraga

Oooh, here's one from the archives... We usually save Lafayette/Moraga for when it gets really wet, like it will be this Sunday. We like it for rainy conditions because it's paved, it's out and back, it's relatively flat, and it's less wind-prone. It also passes by St. Mary's College and has some nice hill views once you get past the less scenic paved parts. The full out-and-back is a little over 9 miles. Be careful when driving out to the trailhead.
