All routes: Ride from Evans to the Berkeley BART station. Take BART to the Hayward station. From the Hayward station, go east on 'A' Street for about 1 mile. Turn right on Grove Way. Grove Way becomes Crow Canyon Road after about 1 mile. Continue along Crow Canyon Road until it hits San Ramon Valley Boulevard (about 8 miles). Crow Canyon Road is a gradual climb for most of its length; don't push yourself too hard early on. Turn left on San Ramon Valley Road. Take San Ramon Valley Road about 4 miles to Diablo Street in Danville. Easy route: Continue along San Ramon Valley Road (becomes Danville Boulevard). This road gradually declines all the way into Walnut Creek; enjoy it. Take it about 6 more miles into Walnut Creek. After you go under the freeway, it's about one more mile to Ygnatio Valley Road. Turn left, the Walnut Creek BART station is on your right 2 blocks up. Total riding about 20 miles. Intermediate+Advanced routes: Turn right on Diablo Street. Take it up to Mount Diablo Scenic Boulevard; turn right. Turn left on South Gate Road. South Gate Road averages about a 5% grade for about 3 miles. It's a really nice ride, especially if the weather is clear, but don't blow yourself out too early. Take South Gate Road until it meets Summit Road and North Gate Road. Intermediate route: Go through the intersection and descend on North Gate Road. There are some sharp turns which require braking on North Gate Road; be prepared. North Gate Road becomes Walnut Avenue, which runs into Ygnacio Valley Road after about 10 miles. Turn left on Ygnacio Valley Road and take it into Walnut Creek. The BART station is on your right after you pass Main Street. Total riding is 25-30 miles. Advanced route: Turn right on Summit Road. Summit Road averages about a 7% grade for 2-3 miles, but it's a very rewarding climb. The last big is a footpath that I usually find too steep to ride up, but someone on a lighter bike might want to; it's only about 100 feet. Hang out at the top, have a drink and a snack while your pulse calms down a little. Descend Summit Road back to the intersection of South and North Gate roads; turn right on North Gate Road. North Gate Road becomes Walnut Avenue, which runs into Ygnacio Valley Road after about 10 miles. Turn left on Ygnacio Valley Road and take it into Walnut Creek. The BART station is on your right after you pass Main Street. Total riding is 30-35 miles.
