GPC Route: Miller Creek to Marshall
Start Location: San Rafael - Marinwood Community Center
Pre-registration
Forecast is for sun but not high temperatures in Marin on Sunday, so let's do the classic One Bakery ride. From Miller Creek and Lucas Valley we'll ride up to Big Rock, then down and over to Nicasio and the Cheese Factory, then out Hicks Valley to the Marshall Wall and back down to Point Reyes Station. Riders are also welcome to meet the main group in Nicasio, which shortens the route by 20 miles (GPC routeID=28). Bring what you need, including water, a wind jacket and lunch or money to buy something at our re-fueling stop in Pt Reyes Station. TM pace, but the leader will likely ride at the slower end of that spectrum, and everyone who is comfortable navigating the route is welcome (no sweep, but we'll keep track of each other). No extended stops until we hit Pt Reyes Station, where some may opt for watermelon salad, others for a decadent treat from the Bovine Bakery, and others may indulge in Strauss soft serve ice cream. Meet at Miller Creek at 9:15, ride out 9:30.

GPC Route: Bears Loop
Start Location: Orinda - San Pablo Dam Rd and Bear Creek Rd
Mandatory pre-registration
If no riders have signed up by 7 a.m. the morning of the ITT/GPC Pace Ride, it will be cancelled. If there is at least one rider signed up, it will go forward and riders can register online up until 9:50 a.m.
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 train at a particular 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.

Meet at Rockridge BART at 8:45 for 9:00 roll. Bring your appetite!
A social pace ride from Rockridge BART to Mare Island Brewing. I haven't riden this route, it was generated by Ride with GPS. If anyone has suggestions on better sections/ routes I am all ears. Meet up at 8:45 and roll at 9 am.

GPC Route:
Miller Creek to Marshall
Start Location:
San Rafael - Marinwood Community Center
Pre-registration
Forecast is for sun but not high temperatures in Marin on Sunday, so let's do the classic One Bakery ride. From Miller Creek and Lucas Valley we'll ride up to Big Rock, then down and over to Nicasio and the Cheese Factory, then out Hicks Valley to the Marshall Wall and back down to Point Reyes Station. Riders are also welcome to meet the main group in Nicasio, which shortens the route by 20 miles (GPC routeID=28). Bring what you need, including water, a wind jacket and lunch or money to buy something at our re-fueling stop in Pt Reyes Station. TM pace, but the leader will likely ride at the slower end of that spectrum, and everyone who is comfortable navigating the route is welcome (no sweep, but we'll keep track of each other). No extended stops until we hit Pt Reyes Station, where some may opt for watermelon salad, others for a decadent treat from the Bovine Bakery, and others may indulge in Strauss soft serve ice cream. Meet at Miller Creek at 9:15, ride out 9:30.

El Cerrito Plaza BART
Pre-registration
This ride will start at El Cerrito Plaza BART. We will warm up riding the bike path 3 miles to the Alvarado Park entrance to Wildcat Canyon. This will be a no drop ride good for riders new to gravel riding or just want to ride at a more chill pace. It is recommended to have 32mm or bigger tires. Bring warm layers and bright lights to see by on the way home. The majority of the dirt sections will be fire roads with two sections of singletrack at the end. We will have regular regroups and there will be an option to skip the singletrack sections at the end of the ride.
Join the club's virtual monthly business meeting at 7:00 pm. Optional social time from 6:45 pm to 7:00 pm. Check your email for an announcement with the agenda and details of how to join the meeting.

This weekly ride often tours through West Marin, but sometimes travels to Napa, Sonoma, or Livermore, depending on the season. We have frequent regroups and usually stop for a real lunch, if it is available on the route. This listing will be updated when the route and leader have been determined, usually by Monday evening. Status updates for weather cancellations will also be posted on the schedule.
There is sometimes 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.

GPC Route:
Bears Loop
Start Location:
Orinda - San Pablo Dam Rd and Bear Creek Rd
Mandatory pre-registration
If no riders have signed up by 7 a.m. the morning of the ITT/GPC Pace Ride, it will be cancelled. If there is at least one rider signed up, it will go forward and riders can register online up until 9:50 a.m.
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 train at a particular 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.
