Pac Striders Weekend Run, Sun July 20, 8:45, InspirationPoint

Hi Everyone,
Yours truly will not be at the weekend run this Sunday, so don't wait for the gray van to show up! Nonetheless, it will be a fine opportunity to run along San Pablo Ridge and enjoy our little piece of Northern California spread out below.
The run is out and back, paved trail with a runnable shoulder most of the way and 1/4 mile markings, no water, bathrooms at the start. The distance is 8 miles on asphalt, but you can continue on to Richmond if you want!
Directions:
From downtown Oakland and points West: go thru the Caldecott tunnel on Hwy 24 to the Orinda/Moraga exit. Turn left at the stoplight onto Camino Pablo, which will turn into San Pablo Dam Rd. Proceed about 2 miles to the traffic light at Wildcat Canyon and Bear Creek Roads. Turn left onto Wildcat Canyon Rd. Go uphill 2.5 miles to the parking lot at the top of the ridge.

From Walnut Creek and points east: Head East on Hwy 24 take the Orinda/Moraga exit and stay right toward Orinda Village. Once on Camino Pablo, proceed as above.

From Berkeley/Albany, Wildcat Canyon Road can be accessed from Grizzly Peak Blvd. via South Park Dr. or Shasta Rd.

Have a good weekend,
Mike
