Hummingbird Fuels is excited to host this event. We will have fuel at the start of the ride and midway on Mines road (at The Junction) right where you need it ;)

ABOUT THE RIDE:
This route leaves from the Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa BART station and takes riders up Diablo. 

We then descend into Livermore where you can grab lunch (Lisa's personal fav will be McDonalds ;). This is the end of the Single Shot. These riders will then roll to the Dublin / Pleasanton BART station to head home.

DOUBLE SHOT RIDERS...
Will then tackle the rolling hills up Mines Road, hit the Hummingbird Fuels Re-Fuel Station at The Junction, and then take on the final climb of the day—the backside of Hamilton (a 10% average grade).

Once you finally make it to the top (where the observatory is) you'll find washrooms, a water fountain and some vending machines (better than nothing haha). 

Wash the salt off your face, take some celebratory pics and put on a jacket before your final 20 miles. 

Your reward for all that climbing, is a buttery smooth, flowy descent into San Jose where you can grab public transit home (the Berryessa/North San Jose BART station, or CalTrain is just a few miles away).

This is not an easy ride. Both Single Shot and Double Shot are challenging. Ensure you bring a flat fixing kit. The knowledge of how to use it. And are self-sufficient. This is a minimally supported ride. 

You can find supplies at:
- Top of Diablo
- Livermore
- The Junction (Hummingbird Fuels resupply)
- Top of Hamilton
- San Jose

Use appropriate judgement, know your limits and play within it. 
 
That said, it is an incredibly fun, and supremely rewarding event. Bring a friend and your own sense of adventure. We hope you'll join us for the greatest (new) Bay Area cycling  traditions.
