Castro Valley Easy Rural Roads Ride

Saturday July 11, 2026 10:30 am 15-30 miles; 800 or 1500 feet climbing; average speed around 10 mph (leisurely, with frequent regroupings) This is a route that includes two Out-And-Back scenic rides on great destination cycling rural roads, each a moderate climb and a return-descent back to Castro Valley. This means you can turn around any time if needed and have an easy, mostly downhill return to the start. We do Palomares Road up to where it gets steep then turn around and return, then do Cull Canyon up and back. The climbs break down as (approx): Palomares Road 7 miles 750 feet Cull Canyon 7 miles 750 feet If you only do Palomares, it will be 15 miles; if also Cull Canyon then 30 miles. Start and end at Castro Valley BART. Meet at 11:00 in front of the main entrance. Bring water, bars, $$ for optional coffee/food stop at the end. The ride will be canceled if the chance of rain is 30% or more. RIDE LEADER: Steven Yoder (510) 394-8684 email: [email protected] Add to calendar Google Calendar iCalendar Outlook 365 Outlook Live
