Do you know where the San Antonio Valley is? This remote valley, on the back side of Mt Hamilton, is one of the last truly rural and isolated places in Santa Clara County. One road runs through the valley from Livermore to the top of Mt Hamilton. Another road comes in from the east, from the town of Patterson in the Central Valley. Its isolation and rural beauty attract birdwatchers, motorcyclists, and bicyclists.
On June 22 the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors decided to delay any decision on the Special Events Ordinance until August. This ordinance was aiming to require permits and/or press releases for special events on county roads which would include recreational and group rides of 50-200 bicyclists.
