There are a lot of elephant seals with pups on the beach at the moment. Let's go see!

We'll ride through Nicasio and Olema on our way to Drakes beach in Point Reyes National Seashore. Pick up lunch at the Inverness Park Market on the way and take it with us to the beach. Order ahead if you like. We return through Pt. Reyes Station.

Shorten the ride by 20 miles by starting in Nicasio. We should roll through there at about 10:15. Pre-registration is appreciated.

There is sometimes a faster (more like M pace) group on this ride, but we all come back together at frequent regroups and lunch. We will 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 in Nicasio or Inverness Park.

Please join us for the weekly South Park repeats 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 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 ride is in unity with the people of Minneapolis and those who knew Alex Pretti. Context from Angry Catfish Cycles in Minneapolis below:

IG post from ACF here!

This is not a GPC lead ride, however I am leading a GPC contingent for those who want to stick together and ride as a group. Instagram Post for local event. The Ride With GPS Route has lots of hills and dirt, there is also a flatter option starting at the same place which I will not be involved with. Be comfortable with steep climbs and riding on dirt if you plan on attending. Ride ends at Fruitvale BART, though there will be opportunities to bail at San Leandro BART if you are looking to cut it short.

I'm capping the registrations on this one, you can still do the ride without registering, just not as part of the GPC group.

Posting this ride to celebrate my (Lillian's) last ride in the east bay before moving to the east coast! I find the thursday night T-pace ride is a quintessential east bay ride, and thus a perfect farewell to the bay.

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. On our way back we'll stop for pizza at Nick's (about 2.5 miles from N Berkeley bart or 0.5 miles from Ashby bart).

I'd love for anyone to join!

Leisurely but challenging ride from the peninsula to the coast and back. Hopefully there will be clear skies, but it's always possible fog will take over on the coast. Several highlights: Sweeney Ridge, San Pedro Mountain (AKA Planet of the Apes), Gray Whale Cove Trail, Coastal Trail, Purisima Creek Trail. About a third of this ride is unpaved. It'll be more comfortable with wider tires (35 mm+) but it is entirely doable on a road bike if you're willing to deal with some bumpiness. Bring spare tube and flat-fixing tools. We'll be taking Caltrain, so be prepared with Clipper Card. Also bring enough water to last about 3 hours as there are very few potential water options after lunch.

Part 1: From San Bruno BART, start immediately climbing up Sneath Lane. This will gradually get steeper and eventually turn into Sneath Lane Trail (paved). We will continue until reaching the top of Sweeney Ridge. Loop around Sweeney Ridge and down Bacquiano Trail-this is really the only somewhat technical descent (narrow and windy dirt).

Part 2: Next challenge is San Pedro Mountain Road, formerly open to cars but maintenance lapsed and now it's a an eroded semi-maintained hiking/biking trail. There are a few rocky sections and a couple of sandy areas on the descent so be careful. Optional bathroom stop before looping out to Highway 1 on Gray Whale Cove Trail.

Part 3: Most of the next 10 miles are paved, a couple miles on Highway 1 before taking side roads and trails to Half Moon Bay. Lunch in Half Moon Bay-there are a few nearby options plus Starbucks. This is about the halfway point, but also the last real water and full bathroom until Woodside. If for whatever reason you're not feeling up to the rest of the ride, this is also the last real bail opportunity.

Part 4: From Half Moon Bay, we'll take the Coastal Trail to the end (very scenic, mostly unpaved route, secluded from traffic and right near the ocean), very briefly go onto Highway 1, and ultimately take Purisima Creek Road to Purisima Creek Trail, a fairly steep but well graded dirt climb. Then it's just descending into Woodside and Redwood City to Caltrain. If you want to go all the way to BART, you can take Cañada Road to Sawyer Camp Trail but that's on your own. Caltrain runs every half hour, and there is a discounted transfer between Caltrain and BART. If you end up driving to the start, San Bruno Caltrain is under a mile from San Bruno BART.
