[Roadsters] Mt. Hamilton/Livermore Run 2/10

[Alvin Gogineni]

All,

This is a run that I'm doing with a few Z buddies, anyone is welcome to
join! The backside of Mt. Hamilton via 130 is a scenic route that will blow
your mind. The terrain will make you feel like you are in another state!

Plan:

On Sunday this is the plan I came up with, it allows our afternoon to be
free. 

 

-Depart around 9:00 am and head south on 101 to Alum Rock Road, east to Mt.
Hamilton Road (Hwy 130)

 

-Head southeast on 130 all the way to the summit of Mt. Hamilton. Take a
break at the summit of Mt. Hamilton. Bring a thermos of coffee or tea, and
you can use the bathrooms at the observatory. Probably get there around
10:15 - 10:30. 

 

-Head out, take San Antonio Road east to the Junction, where Mines Road and
Del Puerto Canyon Road split. 

 

break at the little cafe at the Junction? If not open then wait until
Livermore.

 

>From the Junction continue on down San Antonio/Mines Road to Livermore and
have lunch at Emil Villa's Hick'ry Pit. There are only two turns - bear
right at the bridge where Mines joins Del Valle Road, and left where Mines
joins Livermore/Tesla Road. The Hick'ry Pit Restaurant  is at the far east
side of the first shopping center on the right as you come into town. Other
food choices too. Eat on the porch if it is nice, inside if the weather is
bad. After lunch go back either on Calaveras Road or on 84.
