SUN MAY 12 5!/TM/77 Bald Mountain and Lichau Road (Epic Climb) Ride via SMART Train (or starting from Santa Rosa) 
Leader: Naor Deleanu     (650) 533-2014
Meet at 8:15 am for a 8:25 am start
Pre-registration

Tackle one of the Epic Climb Series climbs and another epic climb-Bald Mountain and Lichau Road (also famous for being a "Gravity Road" and being the scene of Windows Wallpaper.

Note: Bald Mountain has a very steep, unpaved section. Gravel tires/gearing recommended but you can do most of it in skinny tires. I do not have a gravel bike so I expect to walk both part of the way up and down. It is, however, itself an epic climb and one of the two top climbs in Sonoma County https://pjammcycling.com/climb/383.Bald%20Mountain.

I will be biking over to Larkspur or San Rafael, meeting at 8:15, rolling by 8:25 at the Bay Trail at Buchanan. SMART train leaves Larkspur at 9:30. Please do sign up or contact me if you want to ride out to San Rafael. Otherwise, you can start in Santa Rosa-route is based on starting and finishing in Santa Rosa. Meeting time for that will be 10:40 at the SMART station, with rollout at 11.

Route map based on start/end in the same place; it's 47 miles ending at Cotati SMART station: https://www.strava.com/routes/2954659993466010298. Train leaves Cotati at 4:44 PM.

Regroup at the top and bottom of each climb. Pace I expect will be about 14-17 mph on flats depending on who shows up. We should have enough time to make it to grab food before taking the train back to San Rafael, otherwise we can get food in San Rafael (if taking the train).

Tackle one of the Epic Climb Series climbs and another epic climb-Bald Mountain and Lichau Road (also famous for being a "Gravity Road" and being the scene of Windows Wallpaper.

Note: Bald Mountain has a very steep, unpaved section. Gravel tires/gearing recommended but you can do most of it in skinny tires. I do not have a gravel bike so I expect to walk both part of the way up and down. It is, however, itself an epic climb and one of the two top climbs in Sonoma County https://pjammcycling.com/climb/383.Bald%20Mountain.

I will be biking over to Larkspur or San Rafael, meeting at 8:15, rolling by 8:25 at the Bay Trail at Buchanan. SMART train leaves Larkspur at 9:30. Please do sign up or contact me if you want to ride out to San Rafael. Otherwise, you can start in Santa Rosa-route is based on starting and finishing in Santa Rosa. Meeting time for that will be 10:40 at the SMART station, with rollout at 11.

Route map based on start/end in the same place; it's 47 miles ending at Cotati SMART station: https://www.strava.com/routes/2954659993466010298. Train leaves Cotati at 4:44 PM.

Regroup at the top and bottom of each climb. Pace I expect will be about 14-17 mph on flats depending on who shows up. We should have enough time to make it to grab food before taking the train back to San Rafael, otherwise we can get food in San Rafael (if taking the train).

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.

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.

RWGPS route here.

We will have multiple regroups and will stick to a T pace (10-12 mph average over the course of the ride). 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.

Orinda - San Pablo Dam Rd and Bear Creek Rd

Come test and develop your cycling skills. Test your fitness level and get in a great workout by riding the Bears Loop as a time trial. Or, for new club members (or any GPC member), this is a good ride to find your pace as measured by GPC (see link https://www.grizz.org/rides/ratings.php).

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, just let the ride leader know.

The first rider is off at 10:01 and a rider a minute after that. 20% chance of rain cancels. Please arrive between 9:40 and 9:50 so that we can be ready to start on time. We will have refreshments at the finish, and gels/chews and bars at the start.

The ITT is open to both members and non-members; no need to join as in the past. Pre-registration is optional, but strongly preferred.
