Meet at 9:30 am
GPC Route: Rockville to Lake Hennessey
Start Location: Rockville Bike shop
Pre-registration
This ride starts in nearby Rockville, but extends up into the Napa Valley as far as Lake Hennessey. We'll stop for a snack at Silverado Market & Bakery (mile 21) and have lunch at Turtle Rock (mile 48). The lunch stop is a bar without much in the way of food, so I suggest buying lunch at the first stop and carrying it to the second. There just aren't any other options in the area.
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.
Park in the back of the Rockville Bike parking lot, not in front of the businesses. Please pre-register if you can.

Meet at 5:20 pm for a 5:30 pm start
Start Location: North Berkeley BART
Pre-registration
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.

Ride with GPS route. Estimated elevation is around 4.5k feet. We can avoid the weekend crowds as we ride around the lake.

Rain or muddy conditions cancel.

Pre-registration
Join us for the 5th anniversary celebration of the bike lane on the Richmond Bridge and help keep the bike lane open! We'll meet at North Berkeley BART at 9 am, ready to roll at 9:15 am sharp. Then we'll ride to Richmond BART and meet Bike East Bay and Rich City Rides, who are organizing a 5th anniversary ride across the Richmond Bridge (see more details here: https://bikeeastbay.org/event/richmond-san-rafael-bridge-trail-5th-anniversary-ride/). We'll hang out with other riders at Richmond BART from 10:00 -10:30 am, then ride with Bike East Bay and others over the Richmond Bridge (last year there were 100+ riders in attendance!). Then we'll depart from Bike East Bay and do our own ride to China Camp. We're working on the RidewGPS route and will post that soon. Planning on going clockwise around China Camp and stopping for lunch at Andy's Market ( 75 Loch Lomond Dr, San Rafael, CA 94901). We organized a similar companion ride with Bike East Bay last year, it was a bike party for sure!

This will be a road ride for a change. Out and back to Fairfax route. Lunch in Fairfax, either Splitrock Tap and Wheel or the Lodge, depending on the size of the group. Note: I switched the start location to El Cerrito Plaza since that's a bit more convenient for some people and adjusted the meeting time slightly.

GPC Route: Hennessey - Berryessa Loop
Start Location: St Helena - Lake Hennessey boat launch
Pre-registration
We last did this ride in late January, 2024. Ride start is a large parking area on the left roadside just past the boat launch parking at Lake Hennessey (where there should be a porta potty). We ride a loop with stops at Lake Berryessa (bring your lunch) and Pope Valley (snack). This may be my favorite ride, definitely in top five. The drive home can be discouraging, so carpool with a friend if possible.
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.

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.

GPC Route:
Rockville to Lake Hennessey
Start Location:
Rockville Bike shop
Pre-registration
This ride starts in nearby Rockville, but extends up into the Napa Valley as far as Lake Hennessey. We'll stop for a snack at Silverado Market & Bakery (mile 21) and have lunch at Turtle Rock (mile 48). The lunch stop is a bar without much in the way of food, so I suggest buying lunch at the first stop and carrying it to the second. There just aren't any other options in the area.
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.
Park in the back of the Rockville Bike parking lot, not in front of the businesses. Please pre-register if you can.

Join us for the 5th anniversary celebration of the bike lane on the Richmond Bridge and help keep the bike lane open! We'll meet at North Berkeley BART at 9 am, ready to roll at 9:15 am sharp. Then we'll ride to Richmond BART and meet Bike East Bay and Rich City Rides, who are organizing a 5th anniversary ride across the Richmond Bridge (see more details here: https://bikeeastbay.org/event/richmond-san-rafael-bridge-trail-5th-anniversary-ride/). We'll hang out with other riders at Richmond BART from 10:00 -10:30 am, then ride with Bike East Bay and others over the Richmond Bridge (last year there were 100+ riders in attendance!). Then we'll depart from Bike East Bay and do our own ride to China Camp. We're working on the RidewGPS route and will post that soon. Planning on going clockwise around China Camp and stopping for lunch at Andy's Market ( 75 Loch Lomond Dr, San Rafael, CA 94901). We organized a similar companion ride with Bike East Bay last year, it was a bike party for sure!

Start Location:
El Cerrito Plaza BART
Pre-registration
This will be a road ride for a change. Out and back to Fairfax route. Lunch in Fairfax, either Splitrock Tap and Wheel or the Lodge, depending on the size of the group. Note: I switched the start location to El Cerrito Plaza since that's a bit more convenient for some people and adjusted the meeting time slightly.

We are lucky to call the Bay our backyard. This ride (like many of our rides) celebrate this fact. Join us every third Sunday as we start and end (usually) at an East Bay BART station. Stay tuned for the route and deets.

GPC Route:
Hennessey - Berryessa Loop
Start Location:
St Helena - Lake Hennessey boat launch
Pre-registration
We last did this ride in late January, 2024. Ride start is a large parking area on the left roadside just past the boat launch parking at Lake Hennessey (where there should be a porta potty). We ride a loop with stops at Lake Berryessa (bring your lunch) and Pope Valley (snack). This may be my favorite ride, definitely in top five. The drive home can be discouraging, so carpool with a friend if possible.
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.
