It's going to be hot, so let's stay on the coast. We'll be riding all the coastal trails, some parts will be unpaved, but most bikes should be able to handle this ride as long as you are comfortable with the occasional loose gravel. There is an approximate route but we'll plan on taking it easy and sticking together and a few of the turns might be slightly different than what is shown. Ride ends at headlands brewing, we'll aim to get there before they close around 9pm.

From Mill Valley Public Safety, climb to Panoramic and up Ridgecrest. Optional out-and-back to East Peak. Return via Bolinas - Fairfax west and Hwy 1. Lunch in Stinson Beach. You can also join our web forum and check the forum archives for the current information or contact Mark Sapiro at (415) 388-8910.

Same route as before, 35mm tires or wider are recommended. Days are getting shorter now, bring lights for the ride back to BART. There are a few spots with trail damage to watch out for but it hasn't been a big issue. Conditions are dry, cracked, and dusty but it's better here than in a lot of east bay parks right now. Make sure your bike is in good working order and bring whatever you'll need to fix a flat or other simple mechanical issues. Also make sure your tires are properly inflated, if you aren't sure what pressure to run this is a good starting point.

Take refuge from the heat forecast with this classic Marin ride on nice pavement. It's never hot at the lighthouse!

Our usual route has been modified to avoid the construction on Olema Hill. Instead, we'll start through Samuel P Taylor Park and take Platform Bridge toward Pt Reyes Station. We'll make a stop in Inverness Park to pick up lunch, then carry it out to the lighthouse. Feel free to order ahead at the Inverness Park Market. On the return trip we will stop in Pt. Reyes Station.

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

Please join us for this friendly Thursday evening TM ride that’s designed to finish before it gets too dark. This is a bonus ride following the spring/summer Thursday ride series that officially ended on 9/26. We’ll meet at North Berkeley BART (by the main BART entrance) at 4:50 pm, and we’ll be ready to roll at 5:00 pm sharp. We'll go up Spruce and out Grizzly Peak and Skyline, then down Shepherd Canyon and back to North Berkeley BART. Bring lights and a jacket for the return trip as we’ll likely finish the ride just after sunset. Route map: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/39823113.

Fun group of ~8-10 people every week.

We will ride to the Emeryville marina, then North on the Bay Trail for a clockwise loop to the Red Oak Victory Ship, Miller-Knox Park, bypass the Ferry Point Tunnel, & lunch @ Little Louie's. There will be an option to ride thru the tunnel.

Let's try to catch the northern lights if they are visible. If not, it's still a great time to ride at night in short sleeves-it should be in the high 60s or 70s quite late.

Meet at N Berkeley BART, ride up Shasta+South Park. No drop-will go as slow as the slowest rider. Feel free to bring food+drinks for yourself or to share. Will be a nice night to hang out for a couple of hours. Planning on staying at least until 10 PM or when they kick us out.

Route to Vollmer Peak: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48658945

Can take the same route down, or go down Claremont or Centennial or Spruce. Strength in numbers!

This month we are trying out Johnny's Doughnuts at Larkspur Landing. There is also a popular Farmers Market (with fantastic pastries from Rustic Bakery) in the same mall which you can explore. We will ride our bikes over the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, and enjoy a warm donut or pastry.

We welcome new riders! A large portion of the route is on dedicated bike path, but please be cautious going over train tracks in Richmond. We will have a bathroom and water stop at Richmond Marina Park about 6 miles in.

Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38019355

We'll do Paradise Loop from the Gilman Fields (aka Tom Bates fields) in Berkeley - there's usually parking, and the Bay Trail starts right there: 400-408 Gilman St, Berkeley, CA 94710

We'll stop at Larkspur Landing briefly on the other side of the bridge for water and restrooms, then we'll stop for snacks/food/water/bathrooms about halfway at Woodlands Market in Tiburon.

It's going to be hot so please bring two bottles of water - hopefully sticking closer to the water will help keep it a little cool for us!

See you Sunday!

The GPC Tuesday Brisk Ride is a fast paced group ride where we focus on safety, pack skills and high intensity hill climb efforts. Repeats every Tuesday through the last week of September. Preregistration is encouraged and closes at 4:30pm. No flashing lights please. No e-bikes please. Rain or bad AQI cancels. E-mail Chris if you have any questions.

Join us for a 15 mile mixed terrain bike ride. Please bring a bicycle capable of dirt and uneven terrain such as a gravel, cyclo-cross or mountain bike. Pace: TM-pace, Distance: 10-15 miles Elevation: 1,000 - 1,500 feet elevation gain. Faster riders welcome but you may find yourself waiting.

There is a bail out where you can skip climbing Meadows and head home. Please bring water and good lights. Parts of the ride will be after sunset.

This one is a ride on pavement for a change, RWGPS. Make sure to bring a good set of lights as the days are getting shorter. The temperature forecast is looking very reasonable, but be prepared for heat or cold. Ride ends in Emeryville, with the option of food/drinks. The initial section may be a bit more cars than on my usual routes; expect to need to ride single file at times.

Let's revisit our regular counterclockwise ride to Mt. Veeder and enjoy fall colors in the vineyards with the new (for some) return route that includes a beautiful bike trail along a eucalyptus grove! The road closure on the northside of Mt Veeder has been repaired ! Plan for a warm, sunny day with temperatures warm but not hopefully too hot as the heat wave is scheduled to break. The climb up Mt Veeder will mostly be in the shade and then the remaining part of the ride is either downhill or mostly flat. Bring plenty of water and snacks; late lunch stop at Browns Valley Market and the yogurt shop and maybe their special pumpkin flavor. Then we will take our new return route back to the cars at Cuttings Wharf.

Same route as before, 35mm tires or wider are recommended. Days are getting shorter now, bring lights for the ride back to BART. There are a few spots with trail damage to watch out for but it hasn't been a big issue. Conditions are dry, cracked, and dusty but it's better here than in a lot of east bay parks right now. Make sure your bike is in good working order and bring whatever you'll need to fix a flat or other simple mechanical issues.

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.

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 along Tomales Bay. 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.

Let us try this again-see news articles on potential aurora visibility and comet visibility. No guarantees though.

Meet at N Berkeley BART, ride up Shasta+South Park to avoid traffic, but could just go up Grizzly if traffic isn’t too bad.

Route to Vollmer Peak via Shasta and South Park: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48658945

Chill pace but significant climbing for the distance. Relatively low-stress route up Shasta, which is a little steep but mostly nice and steady and has fewer cars than Spruce or Euclid. Bring lights and layers as necessary for descent.

Would like to get a regular Friday evening ride for anyone interested, not necessarily wedded to this route. A longer option would be to add Nimitz out and back, which would make this 18 miles with 2000 ft climbing.

Another Road Ride, this ones is a bit experimental as I'm less familiar with some of the roads in this route, so we can explore together. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48764943 Make sure to bring bright lights as days are getting shorter and there isn't much light up in the hills. Ends at North Berkeley Bart.

This ride goes up to Morgan Territory Staging area where we have lunch at picnic tables. Water and restrooms available. Then a long exposed descent off the back, looping around through Blackhawk and Danville to return through urban streets to Heather Farms. We will have to discuss the Blackhawk regroup as I am not familiar with the indicated RWGPS stop.

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.

Meet in the penultimate northern parking lot of Heather Farm in Walnut Creek (by the baseball fields) for this ride to Clayton, Morgan Territory, and Diablo Junction. Lunch will be at Draeger's Market in Blackhawk Plaza.

Note that Heather Farm is about a mile from Pleasant Hill BART, which is probably the preferred way to get there. If you want to make the ride easier you can skip the Diablo climb after lunch and work your way back on the Iron Horse Trail or using this nicer route. Navigation for those options is up to you.

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.

Meet at 8:45 for a 9:00AM rollout from Rockridge BART. We'll head up Tunnel, down Pinehurst, into Moraga and then Lafayette by way of the bike trail, back up Reliez Valley and Pig Farm, into El Sobrante and over Hillcrest and then the bike path and the flats back to Jack London Square in time for the century recruitment party at Oakland Beerworks.

https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48618377

It's going to heat up so bring enough water to get you through to cold brews and tacos at the party! We will have brief water / bathroom / snack stops along the way but we don't want to spoil our appetites nor miss the party, so we'll keep the train moving as much as possible.

Meet at 9:45 to roll out at 10 from Rockridge BART. Head up Tunnel, down Pinehurst, into Moraga, back up Wildcat and down Spruce though the flats to Jack London Square in time for the century recruitment party at Oakland United Beerworks!

It'll be warm so bring enough water bottles and snacks to get you through until we reach our destination: beer and tacos!

https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48607865

Grizzlies! We are holding a party at Oakland United Beerworks (the same brewery that so generously donated to the century this year, so we are excited to support them!). There will be 2 rides before the party - a T-paced 35 mile and a TM-paced 50 mile. Join a ride and then come to the party, or just come straight to the party - whatever you like! Yes, we will also be discussing and recruiting for the open coordinator positions for the 2025 Century but don't worry - you don't need to commit to anything to join the party! Bring your appetite and an open mind and head over to the Oakland United Beerworks in Jack London Square at 1PM for some grub, some brews, and some century news!

The party will start around 1PM when riders start rolling in.

Oakland United Beerworks 262 2nd St, Oakland, CA 94607

We'll be in the mezzanine but they've reserved a large space for us indoors where we can safely store our bikes. There is also free street parking on Sundays, although it may be a little crowded because the Jack London Square farmers market takes place on Sundays too (but it usually ends around the time that our party is starting, so you be the judge!).

Please RSVP so we can tell OUB how many of us to expect: https://forms.gle/epkR9ymJyGULCSZj6

Each rider will receive 1-2 beers (still working out the details with OUB), and we'll also order a bunch of snacks and tacos from the nearby food trucks for you hungry riders.

For riders and public transportation takers - the ride will start at Rockridge BART so if you need to ride back there from Jack London Square, it's a straight 4 miles up Broadway, and should take about 20 minutes. If you're feeling lazy or a little buzzy after the food and beer, or just looking for general public transportation options, 12th Street BART is less than a mile away and you can hop on that back to Rockridge (or anywhere BART takes you!).

From Marinwood to Tomales via Nicasio and Chileno Valley, return via Hwy 1. This longer version of the ride comes into Tomales from the back side using Alexander, Fallon Two Rock, and Middle Roads.

There are some shorter options. You can start your ride in Nicasio to save 20 miles for the day. We should pass through there around 10:15. Also, you can skip the turn onto Alexander and ride straight into Tomales for the lunch stop. That saves about 4 miles. Please review the map ahead of time and be prepared to navigate this change on your own if you think you might want to do it.

Doing a Thursday ride this evening with a few trails thrown in to keep us away from the cars on the climbs and turns. Ride with GPS. Expect some traffic riding out of MacArthur. It's going to be dark up in the hills so bring lights both to see and to be seen. Ride ends at college with the potential for food (5 tacos and beers most likely).

It's that time of year. The weather is turning to Fall which means the tarantulas are on the move. What better place than the remote and spectacular roads of eastern Alameda County and the San Antonio Valley to view these shy arachnids? This is a very simple out and back along Mines Road and Route 130 as we go up the backside of Hamilton. Meet at 8:15 for a 8:30 roll out from the softball fields in Livermore. I don't know if the Junction is open (it won't be on the way out) but there should be water at the CalFire station. Bring coins/bills for the vending machines at the Visitor Center at the top of Mt. Hamilton. The route is pretty straight forward and can be found here: Backside of Hamilton. If you are lamenting that you won't get a full century ride in, you can add a bonus climb up and down Del Valle to the park entrance gates. If you are even more adventurous, you can take care of two of the 2024 Epic Climbs (Del Valle Mendenhall and Del Valle - out of park). We'll be waiting for you at HomeGrownHops on Mines near Tesla. Rain, hot weather or bad AQI will push the ride to the next day. Check here for updates.

Pleasant ride to a great bakery and return same way.

We’ll start in Dublin - note that this is the FIRST Dublin BART stop, not the second stop, and we meet in the Stoneridge Mall adjacent parking lot. There are bathrooms in the BART station but they aren’t easily accessible so be prepared!

We’ll tackle Palomares first thing, then roll into Fremont for a quick bathroom stop at Starbucks at about Mile 20.

From there, we’ll head to Milpitas and stop at Ed Levin park at Mile 34 for bathrooms and water.

We’ll climb the Calaveras Wall and then it’s nothing but smooth sailing along Calaveras and Foothill back to Dublin. We’ll most likely stop at the Sunol Market as well just for fun.

It is time for our fall Healdsburg Harvest ride and enjoy the beautiful roads and colors in Russian River valley. We will be starting from Esposti Park in Windsor as we did last 3 years . Then head over to Chalk Hill, Alexander Valley Road and Red Winery road to Geyersville and over to West Dry Creek for lunch in Healdsburg plaza. After lunch, it is Westside and Eastside roads and back to Windsor. Lunch is 35 miles into the ride so bring snacks. Bring or buy lunch in Healdsburg. Terrain is rolling with short climbs on Chalk Hill and Canyon. You may shorten the ride with short cut to lunch with bypass of Red Winery/Canyon/West Dry Creek loop to around 37 miles. You also go directly back to Windsor on Old Redwood Highway. Email leader for shortcuts.

Same route as before, 35mm tires or wider are recommended. Days are getting shorter now, bring lights for the ride back to BART.

It looks like it will be dry Thursday after possible Wednesday evening rain, but check back here for cancellation if that changes.

We'll ride a loop out to Martinez via Wildcat, SPDR, Castro Ranch, the Bay Trail, and Carquinez Scenic. After lunch we return via Alhambra, Bear Creek, and Wildcat. Feel free to join at the bottom of Wildcat or whatever works for you. Let me know if you want us to look for you.

See the route on RideWithGPS.

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.
