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.

This is a placeholder ride for planning only. The leader needs to update it with more information.

Miles and smiles, hills and thrills, lunches and lattes. Meet in Isleton at 10:00 am for a 10:15 departure. Take a right just before the Snow Geese, do not be distracted by the trees full of Starlings, do a U-turn at the Sand Hill Cranes, keep straight by the Cackling Geese and come to a stop for lunch with the White Fronted Geese, Shovelers, Pintails and Stilts, with maybe a Great Egret or a Great Blue Heron thrown in. Next, we ride a loop around Duck Soup, where you may find Wood Ducks, then return the way we came but do not turn left at the Sand Hill Cranes. You might want to download the Merlin Bird ID app onto your smartphone before the trip, it's great fun! You may want to bring lunch or stop at the Subway near the sanctuary. I know that some of you will just have birdseed! Rain and/or hurricane force winds cancels (the birds don't like it).

This is not complete.

Pre-registration

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.

For sandhill cranes, that is.

Plus many more birds to be seen.

We’ll start in Walnut Grove, and ride to Staten Island Road (bird viewing #1). After that it’s on to Thornton and up to bird viewing #2 at Cosumnes River Preserve, which is also where we eat lunch. Return by the same route.

Bring binoculars and other viewing devices. It's a long way to the start, so please consider carpooling.

You can buy food for lunch in Thornton, but you’re probably better off bringing your own from home.

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.

Miles and smiles, hills and thrills, lunches and lattes. Meet in Isleton at 10:00 am for a 10:15 departure. Take a right just before the Snow Geese, do not be distracted by the trees full of Starlings, do a U-turn at the Sand Hill Cranes, keep straight by the Cackling Geese and come to a stop for lunch with the White Fronted Geese, Shovelers, Pintails and Stilts, with maybe a Great Egret or a Great Blue Heron thrown in. Next, we ride a loop around Duck Soup, where you may find Wood Ducks, then return the way we came but do not turn left at the Sand Hill Cranes. You might want to download the Merlin Bird ID app onto your smartphone before the trip, it's great fun! You may want to bring lunch or stop at the Subway near the sanctuary. I know that some of you will just have birdseed! Rain and/or hurricane force winds cancels (the birds don't like it).

This is not complete.

Pre-registration

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.

Bring binoculars and other viewing devices. It's a long way to the start, so please consider carpooling.

You can buy food for lunch in Thornton, but you’re probably better off bringing your own from home.

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.
