Pavlis Knows Curves ride - Saturday, March 18, 2017
Meet in Livermore, CA with Kickstands up at 10:30AM
Route - Meetup
A day ride filled with lots of fun curves in Central California near the Bay Area and Sac.
Long time COG member Jim Pavlis passed in late 2016. We decided to enjoy a nice day ride on some of the roads this prolific rider considered his backyard. Just COGgers getting together to ride some of JP's favorites.
We'll meet in Livermore, CA at the Acro AM/PM at 863 Vasco Rd on the North side of the 580 Freeway
There is a Country Waffles & McDonalds in the same complex for those that want to come early and eat. Also 3 other gas stations within 100 yards, including a Chevron, for those that prefer.
We're kickstands up and hitting the curvy roads at 10:30AM. We selected a slightly late start time to allow riders from all local areas (BA, SJ, Sac & Central Valley) to arrive for the ride.
We'll head south on Mines Rd. with copious amount of twists and sweeps n remote parts of the coastal range. At Del Puerto Canyon Rd we'll make a left and head east snaking through the remote canyon on its ultra curvy back road.
At 12:30ish, as the curves straighten out we'll arrive at our lunch destination.

Once lunch is over, we'll head north on backroads or super slab as discussed and decided at lunch until we reach Patterson Pass Rd.
Patterson Pass Rd is another remote back road with non-stop twists and sweeps with a portion of single lane riding. This road was one of Jim's absolute local favorites and was the road in the last video Jim shared with us on the COG forum

At the end of Patterson Pass Rd we'll be back in Livermore where we'll break up for home. Of course, those that want can head home anywhere during the ride.
In all, it's about 3 hours of riding (not including the lunch stop).
In case of rain: If there as any rain on March 17 or 18, this ride will be postponed. If you have any questions check this page prior to leaving home on March 18.
