Ride series and Century participants must wear approved bicycle helmets. The first ride is preceded by an optional safety session. Personal Comfort Riders should carry at least one water bottle and drink regularly, and also carry an energy bar or similar small snack. Longer rides usually have a food stop, so bring money or lunch. Clothing is a matter of personal preference.
Rain cancels the ride.
If weather is questionable, call a ride leader. Shown below is the preliminary schedule, last updated 9 February 2001. The Bears and a Bit. Sweeping vistas of SF Bay from the East Bay hills as we climb Spruce and Grizzly Peak and continue along Skyline. Then we'll descend windy Pinehurst to enjoy a redwood forest before climbing Redwood Rd to gaze again at the Bay.
