Meet at 9:15 am for a 9:30 am start
Start Location: West Dublin Pleasanton BART
Optional pre-registration for members
Let's do this altered version of the Fremont Freewheelers' Primavera 100K. This route starts the loop in Dublin instead of Fremont, which means we get Palomares done early while we still have climbing legs - and also gets us in and out of Niles Canyon early (we'll only be on it for ~2 miles).
We'll have a brief stop at Mile 20 at Starbucks in Fremont, at Mile 35 at Ed Levin park in Milpitas, and Mile 49 at the little stand in Sunol off 84. Please be sure to have enough food and water for yourself, and a copy of the cue sheet as well. I'll do my best to keep folks together with rolling regroups, but will also expect a level of self sufficiency on a ride of this distance.
Together we'll enjoy Dublin Canyon, Palomares, Calaveras (including the wall!), and Foothill back to Pleasanton. Come join me and your fellow Grizzlies for a fun day on the bike!
Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41696195
After party anyone? If anyone would like to stay awhile and join me for post-ride drinks and tacos, I've found a taqueria less than a mile and a half away with pretty good ratings, counter service, and outdoor seating! It's called Taqueria Azteca and is located at 7155 Amador Plaza Rd, Dublin, CA 94568 I'll be heading there after the ride - hope to see you!

Mandatory pre-registration for members
Join Rob and me as we cruise both sides of the Bay checking out wetlands and the myriad birds that go with it. You’ll be sure to see many beautiful blue-billed ruddy ducks and various sandpiper species. We start and end from the big parking lot at Don Edwards (just a wee bit past the smaller lot with the bathrooms). If you’re thinking about taking BART, keep in mind that it takes about 40 minutes from Union City to Don Edwards via Paseo Padre. Check out the route here and bring your bins.

GPC Route: Solvang Five Canyons
Start Location: Solvang - Royal Copenhagen Inn
Optional pre-registration for members
See nearly all that Solvang has to offer in one big loop. See Longhorns, Llamas, Buffalo and Davey Crockett! We will have an elegant lunch in Los Alamos, before tackling the horribly rough Drum Canyon Road, then taking relatively smooth roads back to the start.
A cheerful adventurous attitude is encouraged. Strong navigation skills or riding with a buddy who knows the route can be very helpful. Print your own cue sheet if needed. Please sign in online if you would like the leader to keep some track of you; there may not be a paper sign in sheet at the ride start. Two full water bottles and some nutrition make good sense.

Start Location: Solvang - Royal Copenhagen Inn
See the best of Solvang and get to lunch quicker. Miss the roughest climb that I have ever done, Cat Canyon. After lunch, we tackle the second roughest road in the area. The even shorter ride possibility is to turn around at Fess Parker Winery, and return nearly the same way (26 miles).

GPC Route: 3/4 Jalama
Start Location: Jalama Road pullout
Optional pre-registration for members
Join us for this classic route to Jalama Beach. This 53 mile version requires a car shuttle, which we arrange at Happy Hour the night before. We drive out to the start on Jalama Road, then ride to the beach. After lunch we ride all the way back to Solvang. There are several other options which can be discussed at Happy Hour. A full out-and-back from Solvang would be about 77 miles. The shortest version is an out and back to Jalama Beach from Highway 1, and it still has plenty of climbing.

GPC Route: 3/4 Jalama
Start Location: Jalama Road pullout
Optional pre-registration for members
A remote road to the Coast. By remote I mean a full sized mountain lion slowly crossed the road right in front of me on a recent trip. This is a beautiful route with just one hill, each way. This ends at Jalama Beach where you can get a famous Jalama Beach Burger. Or you can get something healthier and make it back. The crux of this route is learning to say Halama, not Jalama. This route follows the first 28 miles of the 3/4 Jalama route linked above, starting at the pullout on Jalama Beach Road.

Done Jalama Beach enough times? Join me on a simple out and back ride on Santa Rosa Road. We will go 20 miles, be within sight of Hwy 1, and do an about face, and ride back. The scenery is stunning, others tell me the pavement is really rough. Seems fine to me, I live in Oakland. Bomb Cyclones or Atmospheric Rivers may cancel, all of the regular club ride guidlines apply.

GPC Route: Mt. Figueroa Adventure Loop
Start Location: Solvang - Royal Copenhagen Inn
Optional pre-registration for members
This is the big one, Mt Diablo on steroids, maybe similar to Mt Ventoux, except with much steeper pitches! But this is your lucky day, it's not so steep from the East Side, just far more rustic. Be ready for a mile of dirt, some slippery stream crossings, lots of broken rock on the road, and continuous steep grades. Once you reach the summit, you then descend down the Westside, pass the Neverland Ranch, and have lunch at Panino in Los Olivos. Then you can take Ballard Canyon or flatter roads back to Solvang.

This is the big one! Mount Diablo on steroids, or similar to Ventous except much steeper and rougher. After the Neverland Ranch the grade kicks up ... to about 17%, and stays there for a while. It's brutal, but thankfully somewhat stepped. The scenery is stunning, and so are the climbs! The summit is not real noticeable but don't go more than 25 miles looking for it. After the summit, we will descend back down the same route to Los Olivos for lunch at Panino. Return to Solvang via Alamo Pintado or Ballard Canyon. If you plan on joining us, please let us know in advance, you should attend the happy hour / route planning meeting the night before, or check in with us, so that you are aware of any changes to the route, start time or start location. 30% PoP or temperatures above 90 and below 30 may cancel the ride.

Note the later start time since we will be driving to get to the start. Accessed on our travel day between Solvang and Paso Robles, Pozo Loop offers up stunning scenery! There is good parking at the Community Park. Bring two full water bottles, as the water at the Ranger Station still says non potable. We will watch the temperatures, we just did this ride and it was too hot (80 in town, 96 on bike). We generally eat at "The Porch" restaurant in town after the ride.

Want a fun weekend away? Join me on Saturday, April 8 to ride this super fun, gorgeous loop out of Plymouth, CA. The Sierra Century used to be held by the Sacramento Wheelmen but the organized event IS NO MORE! However, the route lives on - I did it for the first time last year with some friends, and absolutely loved it!
Plymouth is far away! You may consider staying the weekend in Gold Country - Sutter Creek is nearby and so, so cute! Also I may be able to accommodate you in Auburn - but my space is limited and I can't promise anything (and honestly, Auburn is still about an hour away from Plymouth).
Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38562912
Meet in Plymouth at the dirt parking lot of the park on Main Street: Plymouth City Park
Be ready to roll at 9AM. We'll have a picnic after the ride in the park - the deli next door makes their own potato chips which locals lovingly refer to as "Plymouth Crack" because, yes, they're that good. Yummy treats, scenic roads, new sights, a fun challenge - it's all I personally ever want in a ride! Hope to see you there. Please reach out if you have any questions.

Let's do this altered version of the Fremont Freewheelers' Primavera 100K. This route starts the loop in Dublin instead of Fremont, which means we get Palomares done early while we still have climbing legs - and also gets us in and out of Niles Canyon early (we'll only be on it for ~2 miles).
We'll have a brief stop at Mile 20 at Starbucks in Fremont, at Mile 35 at Ed Levin park in Milpitas, and Mile 49 at the little stand in Sunol off 84. Please be sure to have enough food and water for yourself, and a copy of the cue sheet as well. I'll do my best to keep folks together with rolling regroups, but will also expect a level of self sufficiency on a ride of this distance.
Together we'll enjoy Dublin Canyon, Palomares, Calaveras (including the wall!), and Foothill back to Pleasanton. Come join me and your fellow Grizzlies for a fun day on the bike!
Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41696195
After party anyone? If anyone would like to stay awhile and join me for post-ride drinks and tacos, I've found a taqueria less than a mile and a half away with pretty good ratings, counter service, and outdoor seating! It's called Taqueria Azteca and is located at 7155 Amador Plaza Rd, Dublin, CA 94568 I'll be heading there after the ride - hope to see you!

Many of us know some things about ridewithgps, but there's a lot to learn.
We will show how to
- set up an individual ridewithgps account,
- join the club's account, and the benefits of that,
- build routes,
- create printed routes
- download routes to mobile devices.
There will be Q&A and a chance for participants to share their ideas.

Join us for this classic route to Jalama Beach. This 53 mile version requires a car shuttle, which we arrange at Happy Hour the night before. We drive out to the start on Jalama Road, then ride to the beach. After lunch we ride all the way back to Solvang. There are several other options which can be discussed at Happy Hour. A full out-and-back from Solvang would be about 77 miles. The shortest version is an out and back to Jalama Beach from Highway 1, and it still has plenty of climbing.

A remote road to the Coast. By remote I mean a full sized mountain lion slowly crossed the road right in front of me on a recent trip. This is a beautiful route with just one hill, each way. This ends at Jalama Beach where you can get a famous Jalama Beach Burger. Or you can get something healthier and make it back. The crux of this route is learning to say Halama, not Jalama. This route follows the first 28 miles of the 3/4 Jalama route linked above, starting at the pullout on Jalama Beach Road.

This is the big one, Mt Diablo on steroids, maybe similar to Mt Ventoux, except with much steeper pitches! But this is your lucky day, it's not so steep from the East Side, just far more rustic. Be ready for a mile of dirt, some slippery stream crossings, lots of broken rock on the road, and continuous steep grades. Once you reach the summit, you then descend down the Westside, pass the Neverland Ranch, and have lunch at Panino in Los Olivos. Then you can take Ballard Canyon or flatter roads back to Solvang.
A cheerful adventurous attitude is encouraged. Strong navigation skills or riding with a buddy who knows the route can be very helpful. Print your own cue sheet if needed. Please sign in online if you would like the leader to keep some track of you; there may not be a paper sign in sheet at the ride start. Two full water bottles and some nutrition makes good sense. The standards listed in the Rider Guidelines on our website always apply.
Bring extra water and food on this ride!

This is the big one! Mount Diablo on steroids, or similar to Ventous except much steeper and rougher. After the Neverland Ranch the grade kicks up ... to about 17%, and stays there for a while. It's brutal, but thankfully somewhat stepped. The scenery is stunning, and so are the climbs! The summit is not real noticeable but don't go more than 25 miles looking for it. After the summit, we will descend back down the same route to Los Olivos for lunch at Panino. Return to Solvang via Alamo Pintado or Ballard Canyon. If you plan on joining us, please let us know in advance, you should attend the happy hour / route planning meeting the night before, or check in with us, so that you are aware of any changes to the route, start time or start location. 30% PoP or temperatures above 90 and below 30 may cancel the ride.

Want a fun weekend away? Join me on Saturday, April 8 to ride this super fun, gorgeous loop out of Plymouth, CA. The Sierra Century used to be held by the Sacramento Wheelmen but the organized event IS NO MORE! However, the route lives on - I did it for the first time last year with some friends, and absolutely loved it!
Plymouth is far away! You may consider staying the weekend in Gold Country - Sutter Creek is nearby and so, so cute! Also I may be able to accommodate you in Auburn - but my space is limited and I can't promise anything (and honestly, Auburn is still about an hour away from Plymouth).
Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38562912
Meet in Plymouth at the dirt parking lot of the park on Main Street: Plymouth City Park
Be ready to roll at 9AM. We'll have a picnic after the ride in the park - the deli next door makes their own potato chips which locals lovingly refer to as "Plymouth Crack" because, yes, they're that good. Yummy treats, scenic roads, new sights, a fun challenge - it's all I personally ever want in a ride! Hope to see you there. Please reach out if you have any questions.
