Optional pre-registration for members
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.

NOTE: The venue has changed since our GPC-Talk announcement on November 16. We’ll now be at the Albany Community Center.
Come one, come all to the annual club holiday party! This year we're switching things up a bit - while the party will be held on the second Saturday in December, we won't be having the party in conjunction with the ride. Instead, you can ride ASSR in the morning, go home, get dolled up, and then come join us at the Albany Community Center and have a jolly good time for the evening with your fellow festive Grizzlies!
The party will be catered with heavy appetizers and beverages, but please bring your favorite holiday dish to share as well! The venue has a kitchen and patio for us to use (e.g. refrigeration, bike parking, outdoor socializing) if needed during our party.
Please RSVP so that we can plan accordingly: https://bit.ly/2023-gpc-holiday-rsvp

(Re-scheduled due to damp weather on Dec. 2)
How spicy do you like it? With two leaders, this local ride is designed to support climbers at different levels of fitness, ambition and/or oxygen debt. The humane version, at a humane pace, does almost 3800 cumulative feet of climbing in 38 miles, including Arlington, back side of Hillcrest, Santa Rita, Mama Bear, Happy Valley, Toyonal. The extra-picante version adds in Amend and Lomas Cantadas, for 4300' in just 36 miles. We'll regroup in Dalewood Park to sort out who wants to climb all the way up to the steam trains and who wants to do Toyonal-Wildcat. Rain cancels; if the weather is iffy, check here for updates or text the leaders.

Let's usher in those additional seconds of daylight with this ride a few days before the actual solstice. (This year Winter Solstice is Dec 21.) Note that this ride starts an hour early, so we can return to Orinda BART before it turns dark. See route here, which, like its name suggests, takes us down to San Ramon and Dublin and back up to Orinda. There will be several regroups and it'll be friendly, but please note that this is not a no-drop ride. A couple bailouts include Dublin/Pleasanton BART near mile 37.5 and Lafayette BART at mile 58.4.

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.

NOTE: The venue has changed since our GPC-Talk announcement on November 16. We’ll now be at the Albany Community Center.
Come one, come all to the annual club holiday party! This year we're switching things up a bit - while the party will be held on the second Saturday in December, we won't be having the party in conjunction with the ride. Instead, you can ride ASSR in the morning, go home, get dolled up, and then come join us at the Albany Community Center and have a jolly good time for the evening with your fellow festive Grizzlies!
The party will be catered with heavy appetizers and beverages, but please bring your favorite holiday dish to share as well! The venue has a kitchen and patio for us to use (e.g. refrigeration, bike parking, outdoor socializing) if needed during our party.
Please RSVP so that we can plan accordingly: https://bit.ly/2023-gpc-holiday-rsvp
Date, time: Saturday, December 9th, 4 to 7PM
Location: Albany Community Center, 1249 Marin Ave, Albany, CA 94706

(Re-scheduled due to damp weather on Dec. 2)
How spicy do you like it? With two leaders, this local ride is designed to support climbers at different levels of fitness, ambition and/or oxygen debt. The humane version, at a humane pace, does almost 3800 cumulative feet of climbing in 38 miles, including Arlington, back side of Hillcrest, Santa Rita, Mama Bear, Happy Valley, Toyonal. The extra-picante version adds in Amend and Lomas Cantadas, for 4300' in just 36 miles. We'll regroup in Dalewood Park to sort out who wants to climb all the way up to the steam trains and who wants to do Toyonal-Wildcat. Rain cancels; if the weather is iffy, check here for updates or text the leaders.
Optional pre-registration for members
This is a placeholder ride for planning only. The leader needs to update it with more information.
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 or contact Mark Sapiro at (415) 388-8910.
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 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.

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!

Let's usher in those additional seconds of daylight with this ride a few days before the actual solstice. (This year Winter Solstice is Dec 21.) Note that this ride starts an hour early, so we can return to Orinda BART before it turns dark. See route here, which, like its name suggests, takes us down to San Ramon and Dublin and back up to Orinda. There will be several regroups and it'll be friendly, but please note that this is not a no-drop ride. A couple bailouts include Dublin/Pleasanton BART near mile 37.5 and Lafayette BART at mile 58.4.
