Planned destination is the Bear Claw Cafe, a quaint, old-timey family bakery in downtown Pinole, with a visual historical treat in the alcove next to the building. Faster riders are welcome, too...just save me a Bear Claw! Bring a friend.

Meet at 9:30 am for a 9:45 am start
Start Location: San Rafael - Marinwood Community Center
No, President's Weekend is not Ground Hog Day. But let's have a Bill Murray-like experience nonetheless. The last time we rode the Marin One Bakery route, 7 Grizzlies had an awesome day. Sleep, get up, repeat! You know the routine: meet on Miller Creek across from the Community Center, ride up Lucas Valley Road to Nicasio, head out to Cheese Factory and then head west to the Marshall Wall before turning south and enjoying the tailwind to the Bovine Bakery. From there it's another 20 back to San Rafael. Bring what you need to be happy, and look forward to lunch on the sidewalk outside of the bakery. Leaders generally ride at a strong TM pace, but all those comfortable following a cue sheet are welcome (there will not be a sweep). Optional start in Nicasio for those wishing to reduce the mileage to 40. 20% or greater threat of rain cancels; call the leaders by 8:30 that morning if in doubt. Let's put in some miles over the holiday weekend.

GPC Route:
Orinda to Bear Claw Cafe
Start Location:
Orinda BART NW corner of parking lot
The ride is CANCELLED for February 16th, Saturday, from Orinda BART. Perform some bike maintenance, like chain cleaning and lubing.
Ride out to Pinole, along San Pablo Dam Road and Pinole Valley Road. Our goal is to get some riders who may cringe at riding the hilly 'bears route'; but who would like to do about 30 miles to maybe get back into riding again. Planned destination is the Bear Claw Cafe, a quaint, old-timey family bakery in downtown Pinole, with a visual historical treat in the alcove next to the building. Faster riders are welcome, too...just save me a Bear Claw! Bring a friend. Optional lunch at Orinda Square (Petra's Greek Cafe, Europa Hof-Brau, Nation's burgers, Subway, Peet's and Starbucks). https://ridewithgps.com/routes/14580950.

Start Location:
San Rafael - Marinwood Community Center
No, President's Weekend is not Ground Hog Day. But let's have a Bill Murray-like experience nonetheless. The last time we rode the Marin One Bakery route, 7 Grizzlies had an awesome day. Sleep, get up, repeat! You know the routine: meet on Miller Creek across from the Community Center, ride up Lucas Valley Road to Nicasio, head out to Cheese Factory and then head west to the Marshall Wall before turning south and enjoying the tailwind to the Bovine Bakery. From there it's another 20 back to San Rafael. Bring what you need to be happy, and look forward to lunch on the sidewalk outside of the bakery. Leaders generally ride at a strong TM pace, but all those comfortable following a cue sheet are welcome (there will not be a sweep). Optional start in Nicasio for those wishing to reduce the mileage to 40. 20% or greater threat of rain cancels; call the leaders by 8:30 that morning if in doubt. Let's put in some miles over the holiday weekend.

Start Location:
Berkeley - Aquatic Park Playground
Start on east side of Berkeley's Aquatic Park (come down Bancroft, take a left at Aquatic Park and go 'til you run out of road). This is a mostly flat ride on the Bay Trail with a few ugly hills in Pt. Richmond. After lunch at Little Louie’s, there is an optional tunnel that will cut out a few hills. John leads over those hills, Karen through the tunnel.

It's the Year of the Pig, so let's do a lollipop route from Orinda, out Castro Valley Road, up and over Pig Farm to Alhambra Valley, and then heading out Franklin Canyon to McEwen (the easier way) and the Carquinez Scenic Trail to Martinez. Return will be via Alhambra and the Bears. Lots of climbing, and hopefully some nice sunshine on the water as we roll along the Scenic Trail. Lunch stop in downtown Martinez at the Starbuck's plaza. Bring lunch or $$ to buy, and clothing suitable to the weather. 30% or more chance of rain will cancel; call leader if in doubt. Ride will be at a TM pace, but all those familiar with the route or comfortable following a cue sheet are welcome. Meet at Orinda BART at 9:30, roll by 9:45.
