Pac Striders Dec. 27, 8:45am - Inspiration Point & brunch

Happy Holidays! We hope you can join us for our last run of 2009. We're doing a repeat of Inspiration Point due to the threat of rain, and also so that we can be within striking distance of Saul's for brunch afterwards.

For other news, the new year will mark our transition into a new club. If you haven't heard yet, Pacific Striders is merging with Strawberry Canyon Track Club (read about it here).

I will also be stepping down as "Official Weekend Run Coordinator"; since I moved to the Peninsula last year, the commute to the East Bay has been taking its toll (literally!), so I've been looking to cut back on some driving. However, Mike will continue on as Weekend Run Coordinator for the new club next year, and for now the Sunday run schedule will stay the same.

It's been a pleasure to serve as co-coordinator for the past 5? 6? years (wow, can't even remember exactly), working with Mike to tinker with the runs. I plan to remain a semi-regular for the runs, so I hope to see you all on the trails.

Don't forget we still have a run this Sunday! Here are the directions:

DIRECTIONS TO INSPIRATION POINT & POST-RUN BRUNCH:
From Oakland/Berkeley, go thru the Caldecott Tunnel on Hwy 24 to the Orinda/Moraga exit. Turn left (north) onto Camino Pablo, and go 2 miles to the traffic light at Wildcat Canyon Rd. Turn left and go uphill 2.5 miles to the parking lot at the top of the ridge.

Saul's Deli is at 1475 Shattuck Ave in Berkeley. We'll give directions and caravan from the run, or you can search the address online.
