Join Nikki and Sandy for the Petaluma-Tomales ride. No rain, but a chance of lambs and poppies, and the hills should still be green. From Walnut Park (So. Petaluma Blvd. and D St.) in Petaluma, ride a loop to Tomales. Lunch will be at the public park in Tomales. The deli has closed and the space has been taken over by the bakery, which is closed on Wednesday, so you will need to bring your lunch. The ride finishes with a short, steep and very scenic path through Helen Putnam Regional Park back to Petaluma. You can avoid this last hill by turning right on Western Ave. and following the second route sheet below. Weather will be sunny with a high of 64.

Please pre-register and print out or download the route sheets.

We will have regular regroups and there will be an option to skip the singletrack sections at the end of the ride.

Leisurely but challenging ride from the peninsula to the coast and back. Hopefully there will be clear skies, but it's always possible fog will take over on the coast. Several highlights: Sweeney Ridge, San Pedro Mountain (AKA Planet of the Apes), Gray Whale Cove Trail, Coastal Trail, Purisima Creek Trail. About a third of this ride is unpaved. It'll be more comfortable with wider tires (35 mm+) but it is entirely doable on a road bike if you're willing to deal with some bumpiness. Bring spare tube and flat-fixing tools. We'll be taking Caltrain, so be prepared with Clipper Card. Also bring enough water to last about 3 hours as there are very few potential water options after lunch.

Part 1: From San Bruno BART, start immediately climbing up Sneath Lane. This will gradually get steeper and eventually turn into Sneath Lane Trail (paved). We will continue until reaching the top of Sweeney Ridge. Loop around Sweeney Ridge and down Bacquiano Trail-this is really the only somewhat technical descent (narrow and windy dirt).

Part 2: Next challenge is San Pedro Mountain Road, formerly open to cars but maintenance lapsed and now it's a an eroded semi-maintained hiking/biking trail. There are a few rocky sections and a couple of sandy areas on the descent so be careful. Optional bathroom stop before looping out to Highway 1 on Gray Whale Cove Trail.

Part 3: Most of the next 10 miles are paved, a couple miles on Highway 1 before taking side roads and trails to Half Moon Bay. Lunch in Half Moon Bay-there are a few nearby options plus Starbucks. This is about the halfway point, but also the last real water and full bathroom until Woodside. If for whatever reason you're not feeling up to the rest of the ride, this is also the last real bail opportunity.

Part 4: From Half Moon Bay, we'll take the Coastal Trail to the end (very scenic, mostly unpaved route, secluded from traffic and right near the ocean), very briefly go onto Highway 1, and ultimately take Purisima Creek Road to Purisima Creek Trail, a fairly steep but well graded dirt climb. Then it's just descending into Woodside and Redwood City to Caltrain. If you want to go all the way to BART, you can take Cañada Road to Sawyer Camp Trail but that's on your own. Caltrain runs every half hour, and there is a discounted transfer between Caltrain and BART. If you end up driving to the start, San Bruno Caltrain is under a mile from San Bruno BART.

If no riders have signed up by 7 a.m. the morning of the ITT/GPC Pace Ride, it will be cancelled. If there is at least one rider signed up, it will go forward and riders can register online up until 9:50 a.m.

Individual Time Trial
Come test your fitness level and get in a great workout by riding the Bears Loop as a time trial. In the ITT, each person rides at his/her own pace (no drafting) to see how fast the Bears Loop can be completed. It’s a great format for pushing yourself to see how fast you can ride the loop.

Pace Group Ride
Ride the Bears Loop at your normal pace to use it to determine your GPC pace (https://www.grizz.org/rides/ratings.php). Or use this ride to train at a particular pace for an upcoming event.

The first rider is off at 10:01 and a rider a minute after that. For the GPC Pace ride, a pace group can start together, or each rider can rider on their own as the ITT riders do. (Regardless of the format, each rider is timed individually.)

Rider finishing times are usually shared in the ride report email to the club. While it is nice to see what times folks ride, reporting of rider times is optional. Also, the ITT is open to both members and non-members; no need to join as in the past.

Ride with GPS Route

GPC Tuesday is a Brisk paced loop through the Berkeley / Oakland Hills starting at the Reservoir @ Spruce / Grizzly Blvd. Ride is characterized as fast pace lines with close quarters pack riding skills required. The ride has approximately 6 re-groups along the route. (Slower riders do have limited time to arrive at re-group points, however, as wait times are limited to 4-5 minutes.) Route as follows: Grizzly Peak to Skyline pausing at Sibley (riders can join at approximately 6:05 here at top of Tunnel Rd), Skyline to Redwood Rd, turning left on Pinehurst Rd back to Skyline, returning to ride start or peeling off to return home individually. No E-Bikes.

This is the classic Tuesday night workout & skills ride, M-pace. Please read the ride details and route description at http://www.abriz.net/gpc/tues-ride.html. Bring your high energy, your high attention to safety, and your best bike handling and pack riding skills. Repeats every Tuesday through the last week of September. Preregistration is highly encouraged. No flashing lights please. No e-bikes please. Rain or bad AQI cancels. E-mail Mark if any questions.

Miles and smiles, hills and thrills, lunches and lattes. This listing will be updated when the route and leader have been determined, usually by Monday evening. Meet at 10:00 am (usually) for this ride. Rain cancels. You can also join our web forum and check the forum archives for the current information.

Join the club's virtual monthly business meeting at 7:00 pm. Optional social time from 6:45 pm to 7:00 pm. Check your email for an announcement with the agenda and details of how to join the meeting.

This weekly ride often tours through West Marin, but sometimes travels to Napa, Sonoma, or Livermore, depending on the season. We have frequent regroups and usually stop for a real lunch, if it is available on the route. This listing will be updated when the route and leader have been determined, usually by Monday evening. Status updates for weather cancellations will also be posted on the schedule.

There is sometimes a faster (more like M pace) group on this ride, but we all come back together at frequent regroups and lunch. Faster riders should feel free to push on after lunch. Just tell the leader first.

Please join us for this friendly Thursday evening TM ride. We’ll meet at North Berkeley BART (by the main BART entrance) at 5:20 pm, and we’ll be ready to roll at 5:30 pm sharp. We'll go up Spruce and out Grizzly Peak and Skyline, then down Shepherd Canyon and back to N. Berkeley BART. As the days get longer, we’ll add the (optional) out-and-back to Chabot Space and Science Center before heading down Shepherd Canyon. Bring lights and a jacket for the return trip.

If no riders have signed up by 7 a.m. the morning of the ITT/GPC Pace Ride, it will be cancelled. If there is at least one rider signed up, it will go forward and riders can register online up until 9:50 a.m.

Individual Time Trial
Come test your fitness level and get in a great workout by riding the Bears Loop as a time trial. In the ITT, each person rides at his/her own pace (no drafting) to see how fast the Bears Loop can be completed. It’s a great format for pushing yourself to see how fast you can ride the loop.

Pace Group Ride
Ride the Bears Loop at your normal pace to use it to determine your GPC pace (https://www.grizz.org/rides/ratings.php). Or use this ride to train at a particular pace for an upcoming event.

The first rider is off at 10:01 and a rider a minute after that. For the GPC Pace ride, a pace group can start together, or each rider can rider on their own as the ITT riders do. (Regardless of the format, each rider is timed individually.)

Rider finishing times are usually shared in the ride report email to the club. While it is nice to see what times folks ride, reporting of rider times is optional. Also, the ITT is open to both members and non-members; no need to join as in the past.

Join us for the Treasure Island lap, starting at the Bay Bridge base of the Alex Zuckermann bike path. This ride features shorter regroups, a faster T-pace, and sparkling city skylines. Expect one short, steep descent and a challenging half-mile climb off the island (7-10% grade). Ride ends with optional food and drinks at Bay Street or Wondrous Brewing Company. Bring lights and warm layers.
