Description

The 30 mile course has about 2,500 feet of climbing, so it isn't easy! From the start at St Mary's College it climbs the east side of the Oakland-Berkeley hills via Pinehurst Road, then follows the ridge up and over Grizzly Peak and into Tilden Park to the rest stop at Island Picnic Area. It then drops down Wildcat Canyon Road and turns right on Camino Pablo for relatively easy riding to Moraga Way and back to the start for the post-ride meal. The first 22 miles follow the same course as the 50 and 75 mile routes, so you can ride with friends doing longer routes.

Alternative Car-Free Start

If you use our car-free start at Island Picnic Area, just join the regular route and you will eventually get to St Mary's College where the barbeque takes place. Enjoy your meal, then ride the 18 miles back past Island (which will be long since closed), or deviate from the course at whatever point is best for your return trip home. Use the directions on the start of the cue sheet if you need help.

Tricky Bits

• At mile 3.1 turn right onto Pinehurst Road. The 100 mile route goes left here, so be careful not to follow them.
• At mile 22.5 turn right onto Camino Pablo. Other routes goes left here, so be careful not to follow them.

Don't Start Too Early

For our 30 mile route, please do not start too early. If you start early or hammer the route, you might finish before we start serving lunch at noon. Slow down, be safe, and enjoy the ride! If you do get to lunch too early, don't worry, it's a good place to hang out.
