FRI JUL 18 4/LT/0 An exploration of tilden park and san pablo dam rd 
Leader: Brian Blum     (707) 737-4124
Meet at 10:00 am
Start Location: North Berkeley Library
Mandatory pre-registration

This is an exploratory ride. The route is a suggestion since I have not ridden all these trails in tilden we might have to adlib parts of the ride. The ride can easily be short cutted if you get tired. Very little traffic on these routes bring food and water. The goal is a relaxed ride in solitude.

SAT JUL 19 3!/TM/61 Jessica's Birthday Ride - Marshall Wall 
Leader: Jessica Jensen     (510) 508-6389    text
Meet at 9:15 am for a 9:30 am start
GPC Route: Miller Creek to Marshall
Start Location: San Rafael - Marinwood Community Center
Pre-registration

Everyone is invited to my birthday party on wheels! Join me for a GPC standard starting at Marinwood for our classic lasso over Lucas Valley, through Nicasio, over the Marshall Wall, along the coast to Point Reyes Station for lunch (including my fave - buffalo soft serve at the Palace Market, yum!), and then back through Nicasio to Marinwood.

This ride can be shortened to 40 miles if you start in Nicasio. If you plan to do that, please let me know, and please be ready to roll at 10:30.

We'll make a number of water/bathroom stops depending on the weather and how the group is feeling - this includes Nicasio at Mile 10, Marshall at Mile 30, PRS at Mile 41, and Nicasio again if needed at Mile 50. Please bring enough water and snacks to sustain yourself in between - weather is weird in July. It could be really hot or pretty chilly, so let's be prepared!

As always, there will absolutely be birthday cupcakes at the end of the ride - how else would we properly celebrate?? Please pre-register in advance if you can so I can get a headcount and bring enough for everyone! :)

SAT JUL 19 5/0/19 Individual Time Trial/GPC Pace Ride (repeats monthly) 
Leader: Marie Noel Appel     (415) 254-4469
Meet at 9:40 am for a 10:00 am start
GPC Route: Bears Loop
Start Location: Orinda - San Pablo Dam Rd and Bear Creek Rd
Pre-registration

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 practice your 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.

Meet at 9:40 am for a 10:00 am start
GPC Route: Bears Loop
Start Location: Orinda - San Pablo Dam Rd and Bear Creek Rd

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 practice your 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.

This is an exploratory ride. The route is a suggestion since I have not ridden all these trails in tilden we might have to adlib parts of the ride. The ride can easily be short cutted if you get tired. Very little traffic on these routes bring food and water. The goal is a relaxed ride in solitude.

Miller Creek to Marshall
Start Location:
San Rafael - Marinwood Community Center
Pre-registration

Everyone is invited to my birthday party on wheels! Join me for a GPC standard starting at Marinwood for our classic lasso over Lucas Valley, through Nicasio, over the Marshall Wall, along the coast to Point Reyes Station for lunch (including my fave - buffalo soft serve at the Palace Market, yum!), and then back through Nicasio to Marinwood.

This ride can be shortened to 40 miles if you start in Nicasio. If you plan to do that, please let me know, and please be ready to roll at 10:30.

We'll make a number of water/bathroom stops depending on the weather and how the group is feeling - this includes Nicasio at Mile 10, Marshall at Mile 30, PRS at Mile 41, and Nicasio again if needed at Mile 50. Please bring enough water and snacks to sustain yourself in between - weather is weird in July. It could be really hot or pretty chilly, so let's be prepared!

As always, there will absolutely be birthday cupcakes at the end of the ride - how else would we properly celebrate?? Please pre-register in advance if you can so I can get a headcount and bring enough for everyone! :)

GPC Route:
Bears Loop
Start Location:
Orinda - San Pablo Dam Rd and Bear Creek Rd
Pre-registration

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 practice your 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.

The majority of the dirt sections are up hill or flat, but expect some short bumpy descents in the dark.

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.

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.

GPC Route:
Bears Loop
Start Location:
Orinda - San Pablo Dam Rd and Bear Creek Rd

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 practice your 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.

El Cerrito Plaza BART

The classic route RWGPS, but with the start moved to El Cerrito Plaza. Bring warm layers and bright lights to see by. The majority of the dirt sections are up hill or flat, but expect some short bumpy descents in the dark. I'm hoping mud shouldn't be too bad with over a week to dry out, but I will make changes in case of rain. 35mm+ tires recommended.

This is a placeholder ride for planning only. The leader needs to update it with more information.

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.
