This ride is canceled today/Feb. 6 due to rain. Please join us next Thursday!
Please join us for a weekly Thursday evening 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 or three 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.

Pre-registration
A few days ago, the Monticello Dam glory hole spillway was overtopping. This only happens every few years. Maybe it still is -- let's find out! Even if not, this is a delightful rural route for the holiday Monday.
The route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49727481. One food stop at the Markley Cove store, about halfway. The route is quite rural with no other supply stops that I know of, so carry extra food plus two water bottles.
Ride pace is TM -- as in real TM, not aspirational. This is not a no-drop ride. Please be prepared to take care of yourself and have appropropriate navigation in case you find yourself off the front or the back. Don't rely on cell phone coverage.
Meet, ready to ride, at 9:00am for prompt departure at 9:10am. Please arrive earlier if you need time for restrooms, or coffee, or to set up.
Pre-registration is appreciated. Carpooling is encouraged. Contact the ride leader if you need a lift there or if you can offer one. Rain cancels -- but the forecast 2 days in advance is for good riding weather.

Please join us for a weekly Thursday evening 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 or three 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.

A few days ago, the Monticello Dam glory hole spillway was overtopping. This only happens every few years. Maybe it still is -- let's find out! Even if not, this is a delightful rural route for the holiday Monday.
The route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49727481. One food stop at the Markley Cove store, about halfway. The route is quite rural with no other supply stops that I know of, so carry extra food plus two water bottles.
Ride pace is TM -- as in real TM, not aspirational. This is not a no-drop ride. Please be prepared to take care of yourself and have appropropriate navigation in case you find yourself off the front or the back. Don't rely on cell phone coverage.
Meet, ready to ride, at 9:00am for prompt departure at 9:10am. Please arrive earlier if you need time for restrooms, or coffee, or to set up.
Pre-registration is appreciated. Carpooling is encouraged. Contact the ride leader if you need a lift there or if you can offer one. Rain cancels -- but the forecast 2 days in advance is for good riding weather.
