Meet at 5:20 pm for a 5:30 pm start
Start Location: North Berkeley BART
Pre-registration

Please join us for a weekly Thursday evening ride. This is a short ride but with a steep climb! We’ll head up Virginia St and Spruce to Spruce/Grizzly Peak for our first regroup, then head out along Wildcat Canyon to South Park Rd. From there, we’ll climb South Park, descend, and climb it again as many times as the mood strikes us (usually two or three times is enough, but individual riders can shorten or lengthen the ride as desired). South Park is closed to cars starting November 1st, which makes it perfect for winter riding. If we complete two round trip ascents up South Park then back to N Berkeley Bart, expect about 2,300 feet of elevation gain. This is a great way to stay in shape over the winter!

NOTE: This is a night ride. Come with bright front and rear lights (and make sure they work). 20% chance or greater of rain cancels the ride. Please contact ride leaders with any questions.

SUN MAR 30 3!/T,TM/60 Solvang Five Canyons Loop 
Leader: Mark Nienberg     (510) 812-9312    text
Meet at 9:00 am for a 9:15 am start
GPC Route: Solvang Five Canyons
Start Location: Solvang - Royal Copenhagen Inn
Pre-registration

See nearly all that Solvang has to offer in one big loop. See Longhorns, Llamas, Buffalo and Magpies! This route has lots of slightly downhill stretches, but the uphills are not slight! Cat Canyon Road is incredibly rough! We will have lunch in Los Alamos, before tackling the horribly rough Drum Canyon Road, then taking relatively smooth roads back to the start.

Current membership in GPC is expected. A cheerful adventurous attitude is encouraged. The route is listed above. Load it to your navigation device or print your own cue sheet. There will not be a paper handout. Please pre-register if you would like the leader to keep some track of you; there will not be a paper sign in sheet at the ride start. Two full water bottles and some nutrition make good sense. The first 40 miles does not have easy to get water. The standards listed in the Rider Guidelines on our website always apply.

GPC Route: Solvang Four Canyons Loop
Start Location: Solvang - Royal Copenhagen Inn
Pre-registration
This is a placeholder ride for planning only. The leader needs to update it with more information.

This ride offers up the more dreary terrain first, then the quite noticeable Drum Canyon from the slightly steeper side, then a little taste of Hwy 101, or the absolutely roughest "unmaintained road I have ever seen, then things become and stay bucolic. We will have lunch in Los Olivos before coasting home to the Royal Copenhagen.

A cheerful adventurous attitude is encouraged. Strong navigation skills or riding with a buddy who knows the route can be very helpful. Print your own cue sheet if needed. Please sign in online if you would like the leader to keep some track of you; there may not be a paper sign in sheet at the ride start. Two full water bottles and some nutrition make good sense. The standards listed in the Rider Guidelines on our website always apply.

Note to self: Make sure that the correct RWGPS "clockwise" file is attached to this.

UPDATE:

Today’s ride is canceled due to high probability of rain.

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 a weekly Thursday evening ride. This is a short ride but with a steep climb! We’ll head up Virginia St and Spruce to Spruce/Grizzly Peak for our first regroup, then head out along Wildcat Canyon to South Park Rd. From there, we’ll climb South Park, descend, and climb it again as many times as the mood strikes us (usually two or three times is enough, but individual riders can shorten or lengthen the ride as desired). South Park is closed to cars starting November 1st, which makes it perfect for winter riding. If we complete two round trip ascents up South Park then back to N Berkeley Bart, expect about 2,300 feet of elevation gain. This is a great way to stay in shape over the winter!

NOTE: This is a night ride. Come with bright front and rear lights (and make sure they work). 20% chance or greater of rain cancels the ride. Please contact ride leaders with any questions.

Current membership in GPC is expected. A cheerful adventurous attitude is encouraged. The route is listed above. Load it to your navigation device or print your own cue sheet. There will not be a paper handout. Please pre-register if you would like the leader to keep some track of you; there will not be a paper sign in sheet at the ride start. Two full water bottles and some nutrition make good sense. The first 40 miles does not have easy to get water. The standards listed in the Rider Guidelines on our website always apply.

Solvang - Royal Copenhagen Inn
Pre-registration
This is a placeholder ride for planning only. The leader needs to update it with more information.

This ride offers up the more dreary terrain first, then the quite noticeable Drum Canyon from the slightly steeper side, then a little taste of Hwy 101, or the absolutely roughest "unmaintained road I have ever seen, then things become and stay bucolic. We will have lunch in Los Olivos before coasting home to the Royal Copenhagen.

A cheerful adventurous attitude is encouraged. Strong navigation skills or riding with a buddy who knows the route can be very helpful. Print your own cue sheet if needed. Please sign in online if you would like the leader to keep some track of you; there may not be a paper sign in sheet at the ride start. Two full water bottles and some nutrition make good sense. The standards listed in the Rider Guidelines on our website always apply.

Note to self: Make sure that the correct RWGPS "clockwise" file is attached to this.
