Pac Striders Weekend run, Sun Jan 3, 8:45, Skyline Gate

Happy New Year Everyone!
I wanted to start with a big thank you to Amy for her many years of service to the run. I am looking forward to many more runs where she will be participating as a civilian.
We will start the new year having the usual debate about which Skyline Gate trail to take, unless the rain decides to choose for us!

By the way, the Pacific Striders and the Strawberry Canyon Track Club are now officially merged. I am going to continue with the Pac Striders subject line for a while and mention the name change in the e-mail to avoid confusion.


DIRECTIONS: Skyline Gate can be reached from the Park Ave. exit off Highway 13 in Oakland. Heading north on 13, turn left at the stop sign at the end of the ramp onto Mountain Blvd. Turn right at the third light onto Snake Rd. Heading south on 13, take a left at the stoplight at the end of the ramp onto Park Ave., a left at the light onto Mountain Blvd., and a right onto Snake Rd. Proceed on Snake Rd. and go straight onto Shepherd Canyon Rd. where Snake takes a sharp left. Proceed up Shepherd Canyon (watch for the sharp hairpin right) until you reach a five way intersection at which you have a stop sign. Turn right onto Skyline Blvd. and look for the Skyline Gate parking lot 0.5 miles on your left.

Have a good weekend,
Mike
