Meet at 9:30 am
GPC Route: Mines Road out and back to the elbow
Start Location: Livermore - Ernie Rodrigues Softball fields
Pre-registration
It's wildflower season! We'll ride out and back on Mines Road for a total of 68 miles, which you can shorten to 58 by stopping at the junction rather than continuing to the elbow. The Junction Café is only open weekends so bring lunch or at least plenty of snacks. We can probably get water at the fire station or junction, but bring two bottles anyway. The start location has rest rooms and water.
Arrive by the meeting time if you want to start with the group. There will be a regroup at the milepost 10.5 on Mines Rd (more or less the top of the initial climb). Then another at the Junction Café.

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!

We'll ride to Olema via Nicasio Valley Rd and Sir Francis Drake, then on to Inverness Park to pick up lunch, which we will carry to Hearts Desire beach. Optional climb of Mt. Vision after lunch. Return through Pt Reyes Station.
Here is the route on RideWithGPS.
Shorten the ride to about 55 miles by parking in Nicasio and joining us as we turn left from Lucas Valley onto Nicasio Valley Road, probably about 10:15. Another option is to skip the out-and-back climb of Mt. Vision after lunch, which saves about 10 miles and lots of climbing.
There is often 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. We'll start when everyone who arrives by the meeting time is ready. If you arrive after the meeting time, you may have to chase. You can probably catch us at our regroup in Camp Taylor.

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.

With so much riding in the East Bay, let's switch it up a little and do China Camp this month. Note that this route avoids Sir Francis Drake and takes us along the shore leading to the state park.

Previous versions of this route also brought us to the food court, but the San Rafael Arizmendi store is struggling to reopen. Stay tuned for food options. Maybe we go with Mr. Pickles.

On my app, tomorrow is forecast to be 10 degrees cooler than today 👍
Join us for a ride to the summit of Mt Tam. Starting in Berkeley at the Tom Bates sports center we’ll take the bay trail and RSR bridge to Marin. From there we make a clockwise loop taking long stretches on bike trails, climbing the beautiful BoFax road out to the damn, then up the 7 sisters and finally to the summit. We will go down Panoramic to Mill Valley, then meander back to the RR bridge and Berkeley. Lots of coast riding so hopefully it will stay cool.
We will stop for water and food in Fairfax (mile 21) and Mill Valley (mile 49). There is no food between these stops, so make sure you pack what you need to make it to the top.

Here is the route on RideWithGPS.
Shorten the ride to about 55 miles by parking in Nicasio and joining us as we turn left from Lucas Valley onto Nicasio Valley Road, probably about 10:15. Another option is to skip the out-and-back climb of Mt. Vision after lunch, which saves about 10 miles and lots of climbing.
There is often 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.

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

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.

Miller/Knox Regional Shoreline
Pre-registration
With so much riding in the East Bay, let's switch it up a little and do China Camp this month. Note that this route avoids Sir Francis Drake and takes us along the shore leading to the state park. Bathroom stop is at Bullhead Flat (mile 19.1). (Yes, the route still goes to the usual bathroom stop about a .5 mile earlier.) Previous versions of this route also brought us to the food court, but the San Rafael Arizmendi store is struggling to reopen. Stay tuned for food options. Maybe we go with Mr. Pickles.
I will be riding over from Richmond BART starting at 9:30. Meet at Miler Knox at 9:45. Roll at 9:55.

Temescal to Redwood Canyon
Start Location:
Oakland - Lake Temescal
Pre-registration
We want to ride the recently repaired Redwood Road that was closed for so long.
Let’s meet at the Lake Temescal parking lot on Broadway, and ride through Montclair, up BBR and out Redwood to the Redwood Canyon golf course. Return via Redwood, Pinehurst, Skyline and Tunnel.
Lunch is at the Golf Course eatery, the “Meadows Bistro”. Some will bring their own

Weather:
On Monday morning Weather Underground and NOAA are forecasting a high of 80 and 79 at Castro Valley and Redwood Valley. The sunny climb on Redwood may be hot, but Pinehurst is shadier and at the top we hope to feel cooling air blowing over from the bayside.

In case anyone’s unfamiliar with Tom Bates park, there is ample parking behind the soccer fields.
On my app, tomorrow is forecast to be 10 degrees cooler than today 👍
Join us for a ride to the summit of Mt Tam. Starting in Berkeley at the Tom Bates sports center we’ll take the bay trail and RSR bridge to Marin. From there we make a clockwise loop taking long stretches on bike trails, climbing the beautiful BoFax road out to the damn, then up the 7 sisters and finally to the summit. We will go down Panoramic to Mill Valley, then meander back to the RR bridge and Berkeley. Lots of coast riding so hopefully it will stay cool.
We will stop for water and food in Fairfax (mile 21) and Mill Valley (mile 49). There is no food between these stops, so make sure you pack what you need to make it to the top.
