Repeated this roughly 18-mile loop. Didn't start out expecting to do it, but then I just made the decision at the point of no return (turning onto Blucher Valley Rd from Kennedy Road and taking that nice downhill run). The 3-mile 900-foot climb seemed a bit easier than the only other time I did it, when it was a new goal to accomplish...
The panorama is the reward, from near the top of that 900-foot climb on Burnside. Click image to see it twice as large.
You can see Mt. Diablo across the bay, some 50 miles distant, and Mt. Tamalpais some 25-30 miles away, from the same spot.
Also, the apple trees are in full bloom, and I've been wanting to get at least a couple of shots.
