100 years ago, California burned. Marin, Sonoma, Berkeley badly hit, some towns lost forever. Read about it here.

OK, #Oakland #bike #riders, no cheating. Read this 1895 #article from the #SanFranciscoExaminer, describing "A Short But Picturesque Ride Through Jack Hayes Canyon" and see if you can figure out what the author is describing, without scrolling down to the modern #maps. A few of those landmarks might make sense, but I bet many don't, same with the #roads. It took me a bit to puzzle out the route, which is still a decent #bicycle ride. You'll learn some Oakland #history while you're at it.
