wed may 10 - mt hamway - 24/mish bart - 0515 - style fun

[Peter Colijn]

Mark your calendars, and submit that vacation day request NOW!

Bike to work day is May 11 this year. That means May 10 is Mount Ham Way Day!

I'll also be doing my traditional YawyabNoomFlah on the way home for anyone interested.

From last year's ride call:

We will be targeting the Dublin/Pleasanton train that arrives at 0608.  Departure times from SF:

Glen Park — 0512

24th Mission — 0515 (this is where I'll be boarding)

16th Mission — 0517

After BART, we’ll be stopping at the Noah’s / Starbucks on Santa Rita Rd. to fuel up.

I anticipate we’ll hit the Junction at around 0945.

[Alexandre Passos]

+1. Vacation requested!

This year should be amazing. I hope we still have wildflowers by then.

Hey, I can make it this year - finally! My first time ever.

It's on my calendar, will request a day off.

Any other SF2G alums coming?

Maybe me! Also for the first time ever...at least the first time doing Mt. Ham at such a ridiculously early hour...

So this is a ride to Mt. Hamilton and back? 

[Alexandre Passos]

No, up Mt hamilton from the backside (through Mines rd), down to San Jose, and then midway to work. This is my ride from 2 years ago: https://www.strava.com/activities/304082189

Are you riding the singlespeed?

[Alexandre Passos]

I can neither confirm nor deny that.

(but really, probably not; the low-geared one might work for the climb but I shudder at the thought of it on all those flat road segments)

[John Murphy]

the flat road segments? Not the 19 mile descent? (or is it not fixed...?)

In. Sounds awesome. I've always wanted to ride Mt. Hamilton!

I never ride fixed. I do remember a lot of junk miles in Pleasanton and San Jose.

i did it (albeit w/o the ride back) w/ kitto/guiga a little while back 42x17 which is only slightly taller than your 38x16. you'd be fine.

If I do YawyabNoomFlah this year will it hold you back?

I'm definitely not in shape enough this year, but protip: there's cold, fresh water from a spring someone stuck a pipe into about 2 miles from the top. It's on the far/left side of the road on a righthand switchback so it's easy to miss if you're not looking.

Will be staying in Pleasanton and can meet at the station or even just join after people get coffee.  What time do you expect to leave Noah's / Starbucks?  Looking forward to a morning ride there!

[bonnie]

Unsure if I will be able to make it this year. 
And
http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/roadinfo/display.php?page=sr130
It does look like 130 has a closure (the part  close to San Jose) and the detour involves Quimby Rd to get to San Jose.  I heard rumor that 130 was to re-open mid May, so perhaps in time for the 10th?
Does anyone know any more?

[Jason Thorpe]

I doubt it will be open in time.  Plan to take Quimby.

Apparently the National Bike to Work Day is May 19? The League of American Bicyclists says so if you dig further down in search results:

Yeah the bay area traditionally does it ~1 week before everyone else for some reason...

Pretty sure it's may 11 here based on all the sfbc spam I'm getting about it.

Looking forward to Hamway on Wednesday! The road closure just means there's a detour on the way down, right?

[Peter Colijn]

Yep, we'll have to take quimby. I'll try to send out a route today or tomorrow.

Okay, I think that I have successfully fended off meetings for Wednesday, so I'm seriously considering this. This is a bit further than my usual rides, so I was thinking a bit about preparation. 

I read thru the Mt Ham Way calls from previous years, but had a few questions:
 - What do folks bring? Two water bottles, I assume. And lots of food? Do folks bring backpacks with extra food/water/layers, or just stash everything in pockets?
 - It looks, from previous strava tracks, that it's about 96 miles to mountain view or 82 miles to San Jose. But the elapsed times were all over the map. Any idea of when we'd probably arrive back to civilization?

PS. Perhaps it would be good to add these items (+ route map) to the 'template' for Mt Ham Way ride call for next year ...

Two water bottles and food is usually fine. There is water at the fire station by the junction and at the top of the mountain. I might bring a camelback just in case it gets too hot again.

Depends wildly on the group and pace we're setting.

Yeah the times have varied a lot due to mechanicals as well. Last year Dave Borowitz had a flat on his Brompton and didn't really have all the right tools to fix it, so it took a while to get that sorted.

So, when you ask what to bring: make sure you have tools and spares and stuff!

[Beckett Madden-Woods]

Bring dollar bills for the coke machine at the top of Mt. Ham!

[Justin!]

I was excited to do this but I don't think I'm in shape for it. My longest ride of the year was 70 miles and 4K and it left me pretty beat. This is 30 miles longer and 2-3k more climbing.

[Justin!]

Actually, it looks like there are 2 shorter options for those not actually going to Google

1. Bail to Caltrain in SJ - approx 80 miles total

2. Bail to BART (ride North from Great Mall to Warm Springs) - approx 92 miles

Interesting...

[David Goldsmith]

If it's any comfort, there will be at least one ride on the slower side
coming along (me).

It's my first Mt. Hamway - I've heard there's lots of regroups and
people don't push the pace too much - could some of the veterans confirm
this is true?

[Peter Colijn]

Yes, this is definitely a social ride. Regroups (at a minimum) at the junction, before the steep part of the climb starts (5 miles to the summit), the summit itself, CA-130 & quimby (to make sure folks make the turn) and the bottom of quimby.

Oh and for folks who haven't done this before: when you get to the top of hamilton, there is a big '0' on the road. TURN LEFT and go up a bit further to get to the observatory. If you just roll straight through you'll start the descent. We always regroup at the observatory where the most critical feature of the entire ride -- the coke machine -- is located. I actually included this out-and-back on my ridewithgps route, so if you load it on your gps it should tell you to do the right thing.

San jose caltrain is what I did last year and what I'm likely to do again. This is a long ride but it doesn't have that much elevation (like, 50ft/mi for the full version, I think) and the pace is very friendly. If you can swing it, it's great fun.

Last two years (the only two times I did it) we regrouped a few times and waited for everyone, even at one point going back to search for borowitz with his flat.

Last time I did this (2015) we bailed to Caltrain and stopped for lunch on the way:

Sausage sandwich + duck fat fries... hmm...

As usual I plan to take my time on the climbs, so there will be plenty of resting time for Peter up front.

[Justin!]

After the initial Starbucks, is it right to figure there will be no more places to buy food so we should bring enough foods/bars/gels to last about 9 hours?

[Alexandre Passos]

There is some food at the vending machine at the top but no other place to buy real food until we come back down.

I think there's also a snack vending machine at the observatory. But otherwise, yeah, no food until San Jose.

(BTW my plan is to go to BART in Warm Springs at the end if anyone else is headed that way)

[David Goldsmith]

Either Warm Springs or Diridon, whichever's closer coming off the
mountain. I'd prefer to stop for lunch as Marcelo was saying earlier.

[David Goldsmith]

All right, TRUNG! Peer pressure FTW!

Don't forget that from San Jose Diridon you can also catch Amtrak to Oakland and Berkeley, with a bicycle, although on a less frequent schedule than Caltrain.

Wish I could join, but sadly it's not an option for me this year.

Bike to work day is May 11 this year. That means May 10 is Mount Ham Way Day!

I'll also be doing my traditional YawyabNoomFlah on the way home for anyone interested.

From last year's ride call:

We will be targeting the Dublin/Pleasanton train that arrives at 0608.  Departure times from SF:

Glen Park — 0512

24th Mission — 0515 (this is where I'll be boarding)

16th Mission — 0517

After BART, we’ll be stopping at the Noah’s / Starbucks on Santa Rita Rd. to fuel up.

I anticipate we’ll hit the Junction at around 0945.

[Christine Ryan]

Damn, Nathan...it's our chance to do the ride in  under-90-degree conditions! :)

We'll miss you!

Oops... I totally blew past Quimby. I guess it's at the bottom of the 2nd climb not the top! Road is open all the way to Alum Rock. Ping me if you guys head/ed down Quimby and I'll try to intercept. Otherwise I'll chill at 130/Alum Rock to see if anyone else shows up.

A staple in my rear tire at mile 79 caused a flat, which I tired to deal with by pumping the tube because "only three miles out." Shoulda just changed it but I after seeing how weirdly the staple was lodged in the tire, I'm not sure that I would have been able to get it out (and not sure if I would have been as macha as Chris to boot it). It slow leaked the rest of the day. Oh, well. Just picked up two (needed) new tires and should be good to go for tomorrow.

After listening to you guys talk about "cokes at the top" all day, I downed an ice-cold Mexican coke as soon as I got home. Maybe not as good as "showercoke" though.

[Alexandre Passos]

As a non-follower of shower{beer,coke} I honestly don't understand how (1) warm shower water makes beverages better or (2) how y'all manage to shower so neatly there isn't shower water everywhere...

When I moved into my place, there was already a shelf just above (my) head height on the far side of the tub from the shower head. Perfect spot for a radio and the beverage of your choice. No suds/water contamination.

And I dunno why...but cold drinks qnd warm water work just as well as, say, hot chocolate and warm water do in winter. Can't explain it.

After listening to you guys talk about "cokes at the top" all day, I downed an ice-cold Mexican coke as soon as I got home. Maybe not as good as "showercoke" though.

Huh--I picked up a staple too! Just across from Levi's Stadium, so I'm blaming them. (Thanks again for the tube and CO2, Trung!)

Glad you made it home okay, David!

Oh, and on the topic of the Tour of California (that "bike event" we kept seeing signs for), yes, this year there will be a four-day women's race, which starts TODAY in South Lake Tahoe. The men's race starts in Sacramento on Sunday. Then on Monday they tackle Mount Hamilton: http://www.amgentourofcalifornia.com/stage2

Very cool! I incorrectly assumed the mines were for gold or other minerals. Who would've known that the mines were for coal.

Looking forward to watching the ToC coverage later today. I wonder how riders will fare on both the Hamilton ascent as well as the Quimby descent -- or if they'll set any Strava segment records.

Hurray!
