Notes

5 days before official date.  Crosslite 2.0, Wasp pack, 20 ounce bottle.  lots of fiddling with numerous maps, directions, food, iPhone for photos.  significant missed/wrong turns: (1) sharp right near water tank leaving Alcalanes Ridge, 1/4 miles, asking for directions; (2) headed away from instead of back toward Larkey Park after got back on Briones to Diablo Regional Trail on return, about 1 mile; (3) crossed Geary Rd. instead of hairpin turn onto Contra Costa Canal Trail and kept running, about 2 miles; (4) in Shell Ridge missed right turn off Indian Creek Trail onto Fossil Hill Fire Road, and since directions said "take (it) to it's end" kept going since it continued, but even when I figured out I was off, continued to end of Kovar Trail to Howe Homestead Park and filled bottle; (5) intentional bonus in Lime Ridge after crossing Ygnacio Valley Rd. to get over 40 miles, got stuck behind barbed wire.  overcast, sleeves.  nutrition: 1 or 2 lyte caps, 2x2 NV granola bars (380), Gu Espresso Love (100), Carb Boom (110), almond butter & apricot preserve sandwich (200 for bread), 1/2 size Mojo bar (100), Honey Stinger waffle (160) = 1050 calories total not including sandwich insides
