A dozen of us made three different loops starting from the parking area at the end of Springhill Rd. in Lafayette. We all walked out Buckeye Ranch Tr. Jeanne, Polly and Pat turned off and made a short loop which avoided the steep sections. The rest of us trudged up to Lafayette Ridge (376 feet in just over 1/3 mile with some down & back up, too). Ed & John took off for more "up" and made the loop over to the Briones Ridge and Sunrise Trails, then returning down Buckeye Ranch Tr. The rest of us walked the undulating (sometimes steeply so) Lafayette Ridge Tr to Springhill Tr and back to the start. We had lunch at the large picnic table near the entrance gate as we waited for John and Ed. Mileage varied from 1.3 to 2.3 to at least 4.3. But the grade made that middle distance seem at least twice as far!
