- East Bay Saturday Ride: |
|
Inspiration Point � loop the 3 bears
� and back. This is a
challenging 24-mile loop with 2000 ft of climbing.
We will be riding as a group on the flats and uphill with
regrouping at the bottom of descents.
The focus for this ride is to stay together and to learn how to
ride as a group on flats, rollers, and climbs.
Due to the difficulty of this route we will have several regrouping
points. |
|
Ride
details:
Departure: 9:00am
(please arrive 10 minutes early for ride instructions)
Location: Inspiration
point, Tilden Park (East Bay) on Wildcat Canyon Road
http://www.ebparks.org/resources/pdf/trails/tilden_north.pdf |
| Directions: |
|
To
get to this location there are several ways.
I have included the URL for the park map; inspiration point is off of
Wildcat canyon road near the top of the map.
If
you are coming form SF, you want to exit the 80 freeway past Berkeley at
Buchanan. Turn right and go
straight staying on main road, this road turns into Marin, stay on Marin
until the traffic circle, go through the traffic circle to the opposite
side you entered and head up the hill (still Marin) Turn left at the Stop
sign (Spruce), and continue up the hill until you get to Tilden park/
Grizzly peak road. Head
straight through intersection and stay on road going all the way through
Tilden Park until you get to Inspiration point (parking lot on left and
plenty of side of the road parking. It
takes about 20 minutes to get from the freeway to inspiration point.
Look for Coach Phil on a silver bike
(Trek); waiting in the parking lot, I will be dressed in a lot of yellow.

- San Francisco Sunday Ride. |
|
Golden Gate Bridge � Paradise loop � Golden Gate Bridge.
This is the standard paradise loop route; there are a few
significant climbs but also many flat and rolling sections.
Again the focus is on staying as a group and practicing riding
together. We will regroup at
key points along the way. This
is not a difficult ride and the pace will be a bit faster on the flat
sections for training purposes. |

know how to get to the GGB please email me.
Use the dirt parking lot below the main lot if you are driving, as
we will be gone more than 2 hours.

East Bay 30 mile loop - El Cerrito, CA
|
Amy Chen is leading a group
departing from the El Cerrito Del Norte BART station at 9am. Please RSVP
with Amy if you plan to show up, so the group knows to expect you.
415-225-7165
Ride
details: Note from Amy, "Since I can't make the Sunday ride, I
will be doing an easy 30 miles Saturday morning. I am thinking flats
to Wildcat/Grizzly Peak/Claremont. We'll do one of the climbs that
was on last Saturday's ride. The route has a good mix of gradual
climbs, flats and a fast descent. Pace will be super mellow." |
| 12/21/03 - Rudgear Rd
Park and Ride -
Walnut Creek, CA
|
Marc Perry graciously offered to organize this very mellow ride.
He says, "It's an out-and-back of about 24 miles with rolling
terrain, wide bike lanes and no climbs. Only weather of biblical
proportion cancels....in other words, rain or shine! This is my
first time on a bike after a two-month layoff due to injury, so this ride
will be S-L-O-W. Sure, you may miss the 49er game, but they're not
doing that well, anyway, so it's a good time to release all that pent up
aggression."
Coach Phil will drop in for a portion of the ride, joining the group for
the out section and then cruising back on the return trip to make an
appointment. Special thanks to Marc for organizing the ride. |
