Lovely Del Valle trail ride
Feb-19 Del Valle Regional Park Ride
San Ramon Valley Horsemen's Association will have a trail ride at Del Valle Regional Park near Livermore on Saturday, Feb. 19. Come on out so you and your horse can limber up and enjoy a nice ride.
The trails will be mostly fire roads. The route will be adjusted to suit conditions. If the park is damp from recent rains, we will ride an all weather road. If dry, there are plenty of choices.
We will eat lunch on the trail so remember to bring your halter and lunch.
Show up early enough to be ready to ride at 10:30.
Directions: Come into Livermore Valley going east on I-580 and take the Livermore Ave. exit. Turn right (south) on Livermore Ave. Go through town. Livermore Ave. will turn into Tesla Rd. Turn right onto Mines Rd. at the traffic signal. In roughly two miles, go straight. Mines Rd. will peel off to the left and you will be on Del Valle Rd. You will go up a long hill and then down the other side where you will pay an entrance fee at the kiosk. (A East Bay Regional Park pass will get you in. It is a good investment.)
Turn right immediately past the kiosk. Park in the Equestrian Parking lot in .2 miles.
Or you can try your navigator using "7000 Del Valle Rd." (I use Google Maps.)
Bob Cooper will lead the ride. If you have questions, please email at bobcooperhorse@gmail.com

Unfortunately, LARPD recently disallowed BBQ's in the parking lot, so we will gather after the ride for bring-your-own lunches. Also, bring chairs. I will bring a cake to celebrate the end of the year. See you there. -Bob Cooper Directions: Drive I-580 east from Dublin. Take the Livermore Ave. exit and turn right.
