Meet at 9:00 am for a 9:15 am start
Start Location: El Cerrito Plaza BART
Pre-registration

Don't let the distance fool you, this ride has almost 3k feet of elevation [RWGPS] and some of it gets pretty steep. With so many clear days let's take advantage of the dry trails and ride Tilden. Be prepared to hike-a-bike a few of the steep spots, and expect lots of hikers out on the trails. 38mm+ tires are recommended, but most of the descending will be on pavement. Depending on conditions there might be some adjustments made to the route, so keep an eye out here for updates. Meet at Bart, end at Nick's Pizza.

Pre-registration

Yet another option to ride out to Point Reyes to see the elephant seals. Meet at 9:00 for a 9:15 roll out from Railroad Ave in Point Richmond. Head over to San Rafael and Lucas Valley Road. We will have a quick stop at Miller Creek Park in Marinwood. Then over to Nicasio and Point Reyes to the next stop. You can get lunch here or at Inverness Park Market. Get it to go as we will continue on to Drakes Beach and eat lunch there with the elephant seals. The visitor center at Drakes Beach may have food and drink but I am not certain. After lunch, we will ride back to Olema and Sir Francis Drake Blvd to Fairfax and San Rafael with a stop at the Lagunitas Market. Pace will be at the upper end of TM, but we will have regular regroups. Route can be found here: Drakes Beach

Update: You can shorten the ride by meeting us at Miller Creek Park. We should be there around 10.

Meet at 7:05 am for a 7:15 am start
Start Location: North Berkeley BART
Mandatory pre-registration

Not for the faint of heart! Enjoy one last ride of this era. Following the theme of others this week, going to visit Elephant Seals at Pt Reyes. But starting from Berkeley to make it longer. And adding a dirt fire road climb to Mount Vision. It should be doable on a road bike but it’s possible you may have to walk parts. Pace will be fairly brisk, but highly recommend bringing lights because we may get back after sunset.

Here is the Strava Route: https://strava.app.link/t2JYPHjAaQb

Please sign up if you are interested. Leave from North Berkeley BART at 7:15. Alternatively, if you want to drive to Point Richmond, we will be rolling out from there at 7:45. Probably a brief stop for water/bathroom at Pt Reyes Station on the way up (should be around 10), and a longer stop on the way back (around 3 or so). Feel free to text me if you have any questions.

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.

Next, we ride a loop around Duck Soup, where you may find Wood Ducks, then return the way we came but do not turn left at the Sand Hill Cranes. You might want to download the Merlin Bird ID app onto your smartphone before the trip, it's great fun! You may want to bring lunch or stop at the Subway near the sanctuary.

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

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.
