Twenty years ago this was a popular August ride. Maybe it will make a comeback!

Ride start has porta potties but no water, unless you buy a bottle at the Rancho Nicasio mini-mart.

The ! exclamation point is for Wilson Hill, but it's early in the ride and by the time you get to lunch all you will remember is the view from the top.

Lunch is at Tomales Community Park (mile 28) where there are restrooms and water.

After lunch the ride continues along Tomales Bay to Pt Reyes Station or ride directly back to Nicasio.

Here is an Epic Ride Weather prediction screenshot on my google drive.

Rain cancels. You can also join our web forum and check the forum archives for the current information or contact Mark Sapiro at (415) 388-8910.

Due to the early sunset, we will keep regroups short. Bright lights and a jacket. Riders are welcome to peel off at any point to get in more riding or head on home. Pictures from past rides: [1][2][3] E-bikes are not allowed on this route's trails.

Meet us at the southeast corner of Cutting Avenue and the Ohlone Greenway [Google Maps street view] We have a hard roll time of 5:35pm.

From our Marinwood start, we will ride to Nicasio, then past the the Cheese Factory, Hicks Valley, and over the Marshall Wall to Hwy 1. Lunch in Pt. Reyes Station before completing the loop.

Shorten the ride to about 42 miles by starting in Nicasio. We should pass through there about 10:20 or so.

Please pre-register if you can. 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'll 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, where we will have a short regroup.

Please join us for this weekly Thursday evening spring/summer ride. A friendly ride with regroups for TM riders. We meet at North Berkeley BART (by the main BART entrance), meet at 5:20 pm, ready to roll at 5:30 pm sharp. We'll go up Spruce and out Grizzly Peak and Skyline, then down Shepherd Canyon and back to N. Berkeley BART. As the days get longer we’ll add the (optional) out-and-back to Chabot Space and Science Center before heading down Shepherd Canyon. Bring lights for the return trip.

Come out and enjoy the spring evenings! We hope you will 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. Lights and a jacket are recommended. We will have multiple regroups and stick to a T pace on this ride. >>This ride is a no drop ride<<

The route does include a steep (13%) 2-block section toward the end, but it's easy to avoid if anyone prefers.
