Alex's Second Saturday All-Club Ride
This is the GPC monthly all-club ride. Meet at Orinda BART lot at
9:00 a.m. for a prompt 9:15 departure. The first 7.5 miles all pace
groups ride together at a social pace...you ll ride with club
members you might not see for the rest of the month. After that, we
split into five separate pace groups: LT pace group (total distance
about 23 mi); T pace group (total about 55 mi); TM pace groups
(totals of 32 or 65 mi); M pace group (total 75+ mi). A TM group
for the 75+ mile route will be organized if enough riders are
interested. All routes are pretty hilly. More information about
this ride, including route details, is posted on-line at
www.grizz.org/series/ssr.html. Rain cancels. If weather is
questionable, or for other questions, contact ASSR Coordinator John
Buenfil, (925) 686-9077, <eleganttype at
earthlink dot net>. Leaders TBA.

Rest day social ride
Worn out from a weekend of hard riding? This ride will be slow and
easy, from downtown Berkeley to various points on the Bay Trail,
and return. Meet at The Missing Link Bicycle Cooperative (corner
Shattuck and University) at 9:30 a.m. for 9:40 start. Optional
post-ride coffee at Berkeley Espresso and shopping at The MISSING
LINK, where they always give us a ten percent discount. Jane
Bailowitz, <jbwitz at earthlink dot net>, (510) 507-6979
Sat Mar 17 3/TM/100
Alameda to Davis Ride
Leave Alameda from Central and Park enroute Davis then return by
train. Berkeley riders who do not want to start in Alameda should
meet at the base of Tunnel (at Caldecott Lane) at 9:00 a.m. Our
route will take us down Pinehurst, across St Mary's Road, Pleasant
Hill Road, across the Benicia Martinez bridge then joining the
standard GPC ride on Lopes Road. The Alameda group will shortcut
Rockville Road and Cowell as we're only looking for 100 miles. The
train schedule will be announced, cost is around $20, be sure and
bring an ID. I will bring green food coloring so we can be sure to
have green beers on our way back. There will be a 63 mile option
for those who want it that starts at Martinez train station, this
also cuts out much of the climbing. Meet at the Kaiser Medical
building (old post office) near Central and park in Alameda ready
to ride at 8:00 a.m. This ride occurs just after daylight savings,
the sun will rise around 7:20 and set around 7:20. You could say
co-listed with Team Alameda. Brian Aldrich, <brianaldrich9 at gmail dot com> (510) 693-0603. Rain
cancels.
Sun Apr 1 5!!/LTMB/250-500
International Space Station
Meet at North Berkeley BART at 9:00 a.m. for this challenging
uphill ride through the stratosphere and up to the International
Space Station for lunch. Return via space shuttle or optional
parachute-guided descent. All ride levels welcome. Anti-gravity
devices recommended, but true "B" riders should be able to muscle
up to the stratosphere on their own. Leaders: Jane Bailowitz
(<skinnyweakling at LTpace dot net>) and Mark Abrahams (thunderthighs@hammer.hed)
Sat Dec 29 4/TM/50-65
Geysers
Prep for New Years Day. On this date in 2011 we had 11 riders on
the Geysers. Ten of us rode Mt. Diablo on Jan 1, so it must have
been helpful. More details to come.
