Meet at 9:25 am for a 9:35 am start
Start Location: Rockridge BART
Pre-registration

This is a re-post from last week which was canceled due to rain.

RWGPS Route
Time to kick off weekend gravel riding again! We'll be passing through Joaquin Miller, Redwood, and Chabot regional parks. The route is designed so it can be ridden without a mountain bike, but having at least a gravel or CX bike with 35mm+ tires is recommended. Expect a few brief steep sections which less experienced riders may prefer to walk. There will be a few stops with opportunities for water and bathrooms, but there is no lunch stop so make sure to bring enough food to sustain at least 4 hours of riding. There will be an opportunity for food/drinks at Rockridge afterwards depending on interest and group size.

Trail conditions are still uncertain with the recent rains so be prepared for the possibility of changes to the route. I will post an updated route here on the 18th if trail reports indicate some trails may not be suitable for riding.

Livermore - Mines Rd & Del Valle
Pre-registration

Let's check out the wildflowers on Mines Road before it gets too hot!

Out-and-back from the junction of Del Valle and Mines Road. Riders can turn around at the Junction Cafe at mile 24.4, or ride a few more miles to "the Elbow" in search of more wildflowers. Restrooms and water are available at Ernie Rodrigues Softball fields on South Livermore Ave. There are NO facilities on Mines Rd. Water might be available at the CalFire San Antonio Valley fire station about 1/2 mile before the Junction.

The Junction Cafe may be open, but don't count on it. There will be some birthday treats there anyway

Bring plenty of water and enough food, and let's enjoy this beautiful and remote road. Be prepared for two or three places where water crosses the road.

Many of us will stop at the Junction to have our lunch. Please pre-register! Here's the RidewithGPS route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/42811031

Join us for a chill T-pace version of the traditional Thursday evening road ride! We'll go up Spruce to Grizzly Peak and Skyline, then turn right to head down Shepherd's Canyon and ride back through Montclair and via the Lake Temescal bike path. For those unfamiliar the route, the first 7 miles are climbing and then the rest of the ride is mostly flat or downhill. Lights and a light jacket/windbreaker are recommended.

The route does include a steep (13%) 2-block stretch (Roanoke Rd.) toward the end, but riders can avoid it if needed.

RWGPS route here.

We will have multiple regroups and will stick to a T pace (10-12 mph). This ride is a no-drop ride and we welcome folks new to the club!

*Note that leaders rotate weekly, and we will try to always have two leaders at each ride.

Pre-registration

This is a re-post from last week which was canceled due to rain.

RWGPS Route
Time to kick off weekend gravel riding again! We'll be passing through Joaquin Miller, Redwood, and Chabot regional parks. The route is designed so it can be ridden without a mountain bike, but having at least a gravel or CX bike with 35mm+ tires is recommended. Expect a few brief steep sections which less experienced riders may prefer to walk. There will be a few stops with opportunities for water and bathrooms, but there is no lunch stop so make sure to bring enough food to sustain at least 4 hours of riding. There will be an opportunity for food/drinks at Rockridge afterwards depending on interest and group size.

Trail conditions are still uncertain with the recent rains so be prepared for the possibility of changes to the route. I will post an updated route here on the 18th if trail reports indicate some trails may not be suitable for riding.

Start Location:
Orinda - San Pablo Dam Rd and Bear Creek Rd

Come test and develop your cycling skills. Test your fitness level and get in a great workout by riding the Bears Loop as a time trial. Or, for new club members (or any GPC member), this is a good ride to find your pace as measured by GPC (see link https://www.grizz.org/rides/ratings.php). 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, just let the ride leader know.
The first rider is off at 10:01 and a rider a minute after that. 20% chance of rain cancels. The ITT is open to both members and non-members; no need to join as in the past. Pre-registration is optional, but strongly preferred.
