Same route as before, 35mm tires or wider are recommended. Days are getting shorter now, bring lights for the ride back to BART. There are a few spots with trail damage to watch out for but it hasn't been a big issue. Conditions are dry, cracked, and dusty but it's better here than in a lot of east bay parks right now. Make sure your bike is in good working order and bring whatever you'll need to fix a flat or other simple mechanical issues. Also make sure your tires are properly inflated, if you aren't sure what pressure to run this is a good starting point.

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.

RWGPS route here.

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! Please note that after the 18.3 mile mark, the leader will not return to North Berkeley BART as is indicated on the cue sheet.

*Note that leaders rotate weekly, and we will try to always have two leaders at each ride.

We'll be at Duncan's Mills at the same time as the TM riders, and we may see them again at Stewart's Point.

So two water bottles is a good idea. We're at the equinox, so bring lights just in case.

A loop from Duncan's Mills through Cazadero, out King Ridge to Stewarts Point and return down the coast. There is no food or water between Cazadero and Stewarts Point, so be prepared. The ride starts and finishes in the town of Duncans Mills on Highway 116 about four miles east of Highway 1. Route [https://ridewithgps.com/routes/19432648] Carpooling recommended. It is about 1 1/2 hours from the Bay Area, so worth sharing the drive.

Caltrain is celebrating electrification with free rides this weekend. They are also kick-starting their schedule to run every half hour and have faster service. Anyone else interested in riding and celebrating in Palo Alto? https://www.caltrain.com/media/33908

Old La Honda-Tunitas Creek loop https://ridewithgps.com/routes/4458188?lang=en. T/TM pace on flat/downhill (no drop there, pace depends on who shows up), regroup at top of Old La Honda and Tunitas, lunch break at San Gregorio Beach (bring your own food).
Note: GPC route 139 is the same route from Woodside https://ridewithgps.com/routes/9179420. I will be starting from Downtown Palo Alto and follow the route in the description above, but if anyone wants to drive and meet up there, please reach out.

There's a party in Palo Alto from 2-6 PM, leave whenever you want. There will be bike valet in Palo Alto too.

I will likely take BART from downtown Berkeley to Powell Street and take Caltrain from San Francisco. Possibly stop at South San Francisco for free goodies if I can make the earlier train. Will reach out to anyone who signs up to coordinate travel. Train is supposed to get to downtown Palo Alto at 9:45 AM.

The GPC Tuesday Brisk Ride is a fast paced group ride where we focus on safety, pack skills and high intensity hill climb efforts. Repeats every Tuesday through the last week of September. Preregistration is encouraged and closes at 4:30pm. No flashing lights please. No e-bikes please. Rain or bad AQI cancels. E-mail Chris if you have any questions.

Pre-registration
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.

Start Location:
El Cerrito Del Norte BART

Same route as before, 35mm tires or wider are recommended. Days are getting shorter now, bring lights for the ride back to BART. There are a few spots with trail damage to watch out for but it hasn't been a big issue. Conditions are dry, cracked, and dusty but it's better here than in a lot of east bay parks right now. Make sure your bike is in good working order and bring whatever you'll need to fix a flat or other simple mechanical issues. Also make sure your tires are properly inflated, if you aren't sure what pressure to run this is a good starting point.
