Hey all! It’s that time again - birthday party fun!
Please join me for what should be a cool and beautiful ride along the coast for my birthday. Yes, we’ll stop in Pescadero for artichoke bread! And yes, there will be cupcakes!
MJ was kind enough to re-route the end of my normal route bc we got intel that Higgins Road (descent at the end of the ride in years past) is un-rideable until August. So please update your Garmins! A little less climbing, a few additional miles - I guess it evens out. At least we don’t have to hike our bikes mid-descent!

Please pre-register so I can get an accurate headcount for cupcakes! :) Be there or be square!

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 with 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 strongly recommended, especially since the ride finishes around sunset.
The route does include a steep (13%) 2-block stretch (Roanoke Rd.) toward the end, but riders can avoid it if needed.
We will have multiple regroups and will stick to a T pace (10-12 mph average over the course of the ride). 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.

Hey all! It’s that time again - birthday party fun!
Please join me for what should be a cool and beautiful ride along the coast for my birthday. Yes, we’ll stop in Pescadero for artichoke bread! And yes, there will be cupcakes!
MJ was kind enough to re-route the end of my normal route bc we got intel that Higgins Road (descent at the end of the ride in years past) is un-rideable until August. So please update your Garmins! A little less climbing, a few additional miles - I guess it evens out. At least we don’t have to hike our bikes mid-descent!

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 with 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 strongly recommended, especially since the ride finishes around sunset.
The route does include a steep (13%) 2-block stretch (Roanoke Rd.) toward the end, but riders can avoid it if needed.
We will have multiple regroups and will stick to a T pace (10-12 mph average over the course of the ride). 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.

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 often 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.
