What: This week we’ll be riding an Olema Muir Woods loop by heading out over the RSR Bridge heading west through Fairfax and onto Sir Francis Drake all the way out to Olema. We’ll then turn south on Hwy 1 and stop for Coffee at Parkside Cafe in Stinson Beach at mile 44. We’ll continue south before turning onto Muir Woods Rd and climbing up to Panoramic and then down through Mill Valley over Horse Hill to Larkspur and back across the RSR Bridge. From Point Richmond, the route is ~71 miles with ~4800 ft of climbing. We’ll regroup at Greenbrae (Hal Brown Park bathrooms off Bon Air), Olema, Coffee, and Panoramic. Ride pace for A group will be 16-18 mph average with faster bursts on some sections and for B group will be 14-16 mph average and C group will be 12-14 mph and you should be comfortable with group riding and have read and be familiar the BBC Group Ride Guidelines. Ride leaders will be Morgan Griffin (A) and TBD (B) and possibly KC (C) this week.

Where/When: Meeting this Saturday at 8:45am outside Maya Taqueria at Pt Richmond (plenty of parking available if you’re driving). We’ll roll from Point Richmond at 9am sharp. C group will depart 5 minutes after A and B groups and will have its own regroups along the route.
