Mines and Mt Hamilton Roads: The Official Thread

[FreeRyde]

A few nights back, around the midnight hour.
Crisp and cool, only had one near impact with a deer at 75mph.
* shrug *

Was in the low 40's on Mines around 12am.

Crispy cool and fast

Still a little cool out, 45-50°, roads are insanely clean, dry, fast, smooth, fun... well you get the idea.

..and this one was at the observatory almost exactly 2 years ago! They had the road closed at Grant Park, so I turned around and went up Mines! By the time I got to the top the road back down to SJ was open.

I hope you were smarter than me and had heated grips

Looks like Mt. Hamilton was closed at the Grants park this weekend. Did anyone ride from the Livermore side Saturday or Sunday? What is the sand and mud slide situation?

Rode Mines road from Livermore yesterday (Sunday) to the Junction, boy am I glad that I decided last minute to take Del Puerto back instead of continuing on to Hamilton!

On the the Mines side, starting from ~10 miles before Junction the hillsides were blanketed in melting snow. It was quite a trip!

Same, did a few runs of Mines and Del Puerto. I didn't even start on the road to Hamilton, because I know the backside gets cold and snowy.

Here's the Del Puerto ride footage

Besides snow on the road in one turn (I believe "Beth's" turn, if I'm not mistaken), but it was just a small part (I was there around 1pm on Sundary). Other parts seems to have dirt in same cornerns as usual, just a bit more, but usually visible (just don't hug inner side)

I'll be doing a recon run tomorrow. Will report back on the conditions ...
