[RWGPS route] Kick off the weekend with a short but sweet roll by bike! </pun> Shortbread Rides are short (~10-mile) rides to bakeries one Friday a month. The ride ends at the bakery. For this Shortbread Ride, we'll visit Patisserie Rotha, my favorite local bakery. They do not have seating, so we will get our pastries and eat them at the Starbucks across the street. I will bring a lock to share with up to two other bikes. I plan to be at the bakery for no more than 30 minutes before heading back home.

This ride leaves from Pleasant Hill BART, heads north to Crockett via Franklin Canyon and Cummings Skyway, then to Martinez via Carquinez Scenic Drive, and returns to Pleasant Hill BART via Alhambra Valley and Reliez Valley Roads.
NOTE: there will be a short lunch stop in Martinez, at the courtyard/park on Main St next to Starbucks. Bring lunch or grab take-out from nearby (Starbucks, Subway, The Zombie Shop, etc) to eat at the courtyard.
This ride is NO DROP. This means nobody will be left behind, no matter their pace or ability. Helmets are required. We look forward to riding with you! Rain cancels. Check this page the day of the ride if weather is dubious.

The classic route RWGPS, but with the start moved to El Cerrito Plaza. Bring warm layers and bright lights to see by.

Ride is cancelled this week. Please join us next week for the final ride of the season, plus post-ride dinner!

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.
We will have multiple regroups and will stick to a T pace (10-12 mph). This ride is a no-drop ride and we welcome folks new to the club!

GPC Route: Bears Loop
Start Location: Orinda - San Pablo Dam Rd and Bear Creek Rd
Pre-registration
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 practice your 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.

The ride has approximately 6 re-groups along the route. (Slower riders do have limited time to arrive at re-group points, however, as wait times are limited to 4-5 minutes.) Route as follows: Grizzly Peak to Skyline pausing at Sibley (riders can join at approximately 6:05 here at top of Tunnel Rd), Skyline to Redwood Rd, turning left on Pinehurst Rd back to Skyline, returning to ride start or peeling off to return home individually. No E-Bikes.
Meet at 10:00 am for a 10:15 am start

The classic route RWGPS, but with the start moved to El Cerrito Plaza. Bring warm layers and bright lights to see by. The majority of the dirt sections are up hill or flat, but expect some short bumpy descents in the dark.

[RWGPS route] Kick off the weekend with a short but sweet roll by bike! </pun> Shortbread Rides are short (~10-mile) rides to bakeries one Friday a month. The ride ends at the bakery. For this Shortbread Ride, we'll visit Patisserie Rotha, my favorite local bakery. They do not have seating, so we will get our pastries and eat them at the Starbucks across the street. I will bring a lock to share with up to two other bikes. I plan to be at the bakery for no more than 30 minutes before heading back home.

Bears Loop
Start Location:
Orinda - San Pablo Dam Rd and Bear Creek Rd
Pre-registration
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 practice your 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.

Emeryville - Opposite IKEA
Join us for the Treasure Island lap, starting at the Bay Bridge base of the Alex Zuckermann bike path. This ride features shorter regroups, a faster T-pace, and sparkling city skylines. Expect one short, steep descent and a challenging half-mile climb off the island (7-10% grade). Ride ends with optional food and drinks at Bay Street or Wondrous Brewing Company. Bring lights and warm layers.

Start Location:
Berkeley - Spruce & Grizzly Peak Blvd - Plaza
GPC Tuesday is a Brisk paced loop through the Berkeley / Oakland Hills starting at the Reservoir @ Spruce / Grizzly Blvd. Ride is characterized as fast pace lines with close quarters pack riding skills required. The ride has approximately 6 re-groups along the route. (Slower riders do have limited time to arrive at re-group points, however, as wait times are limited to 4-5 minutes.) Route as follows: Grizzly Peak to Skyline pausing at Sibley (riders can join at approximately 6:05 here at top of Tunnel Rd), Skyline to Redwood Rd, turning left on Pinehurst Rd back to Skyline, returning to ride start or peeling off to return home individually. No E-Bikes.
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.

Start Location:
El Cerrito Plaza BART
The classic route RWGPS, but with the start moved to El Cerrito Plaza. Bring warm layers and bright lights to see by. The majority of the dirt sections are up hill or flat, but expect some short bumpy descents in the dark. I'm hoping mud shouldn't be too bad with over a week to dry out, but I will make changes in case of rain. 35mm+ tires recommended.
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 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.
