2020-05-14: 16.6 mile, 1500 ft gain, afternoon flat ride I told myself, but then once I took Bancroft Ave to tho 104th Ave/106th Ave intersection, I turned up 106th to Malcolm Ave to see what's on the east side of the Zoo. Up a ways I turn up Edgemont Way to see if I can get into Knowland Park, but that looks a bit of a steep carry of the bike so back to Malcom Ave and wow that's a hill, steep enough I drip sweat on the front camera, why am I doing this? and Cameron Ave into the park for a spin on the trails, past the bear cages, and out onto Edgemont Way carrying my bike down that steep slope.  Then since I thought it was terrible the first time, why not up that same section of Malcolm Ave?  Follow that down to Golf Links Rd, up Grass Valley Rd, and onto the trails there to the south east. Goldenrod trail in Anthony Chabot Regional Park in and out of the golf course land and then the trail doesn't seem to have a name, til it merges with W Shore Trail into Lake Chabot Park, and over the creek bridge into San Leandro, CA on Estudillo Ave. Take that to Bancroft Ave and take that back up into the safety of Deep East Oakland and all the way up to Avenal Ave, Brookdale Ave and 55th Ave.
