Danville Railroad Loop (45 miles)

I woke up on Saturday feeling a bit lethargic, so I decided to just do an easy ride over to Danville and then take BART home from Lafayette. This ride is flat for the most part, with the only significant hill coming at the beginning, with the climb up Spruce Ave. into Tilden park.

From Moraga to Danville there are multi-use trails that parallel the roads. I usually stick to the road to avoid the crowded trails, but the heat on Saturday must have kept the pedestrians and joggers away. Both the Lafayette/Moraga trail and the Iron Horse trail were practically empty.

Distance: about 45 miles
Elevation gain: 2800 feet
Time in the saddle: 4 hours
