Good idea to change the ride... But the ride calendar and pdf calendar have different meet and start times.  The pdf says 8:30 meet and 8:45 start.  The calendar says 8:45 and 9.  I'm going to assume meet is at 8:30.

Oh, no!  Corral Hollow is closed until at least Feb 19 due to flooding:  https://www.sjgov.org/residents/road-closures.

We're changing the ride back to PRS 7, Grant Ranch.  Meet at the Downtown Niles parking lot across from H St at Niles Blvd.  Here's the RideWithGPS link:  https://ridewithgps.com/routes/28852744.  The RideWithGPS route is accurate but does not have all the regroups.  Please print and bring the attached cue sheet.

WARNINGS:

• Grant Ranch's temperature is forecast to be in the upper 30s.  Bring extra layers!
• Our food break is 45 miles into the ride.  Bring plenty of food and water!
• Google Maps shows Hwy 130 (Mt. Hamilton Road) as closed past where we turn into Joseph D. Grant County Park, likely due to flooding from the nearby lake and streams.  The park's phone line or webpage don't say anything about it so we should be OK.

This change may be for the best.  The forecast for Fremont/Milpitas/Grant Ranch looks good, while the forecast for Livermore/Tracy is unsettled.

A significant chance of rain cancels.  Please check https://ffbc.groups.io/g/info/topics after 7 a.m. Sunday.  No post means the ride is on.
