GPC Route: Bears Loop
Start Location: Orinda - San Pablo Dam Rd and Bear Creek Rd
Mandatory pre-registration
If no riders have signed up by 7 a.m. the morning of the ITT/GPC Pace Ride, it will be cancelled. If there is at least one rider signed up, it will go forward and riders can register online up until 9:50 a.m.
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 train at a particular 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.

GPC Route:
Bears Loop
Start Location:
Orinda - San Pablo Dam Rd and Bear Creek Rd
Mandatory pre-registration
If no riders have signed up by 7 a.m. the morning of the ITT/GPC Pace Ride, it will be cancelled. If there is at least one rider signed up, it will go forward and riders can register online up until 9:50 a.m.
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 train at a particular 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.

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.

Start Location:
El Cerrito Plaza BART
This ride will start at El Cerrito Plaza BART. We will warm up riding the bike path 3 miles to the Alvarado Park entrance to Wildcat Canyon. This will be a no drop ride good for riders new to gravel riding or just want to ride at a more chill pace. It is recommended to have 32mm or bigger tires. Bring warm layers and bright lights to see by on the way home. The majority of the dirt sections will be fire roads with two sections of singletrack at the end. We will have regular regroups and there will be an option to skip the singletrack sections at the end of the ride.
