1000 or 3000 ft, approx 16 or 35 miles.
Meet at 10:45 am at the Orinda Library (cafe) 2 blocks north of Orinda BART. Best to arrive early, so we’ll have time to sign our Ride Waiver form. Ride rolls at 11:00 am from Orinda. We start with a fairly easy route, and then offer a more challenging second loop. We start with an easy climb over to Moraga, then mostly downhill to Lafayette, then back to Orinda. Then those who wish to continue with a more challenging route will ride out Miner Rd to Happy Valley, to Bear Creek, Alhambra Valley, and Camino Diablo back to Orinda. Mostly very scenic country roads and trails.

Get out your Clipper Card for a Sunday play day. We’ll be heading to the Barlow for the Head West Market in Sebastopol.
We hop on the Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit Train (SMART) to Rohnert Park. Making our way onto the Joe Robata bike path will take us to the Barlow. This is a boutique area with coffee, music, merchants, crafters, designers, artists, breweries, tasting rooms and restaurants. You might even consider bringing a backpack. Plan to spend time walking your bike around the complex, enjoy the afternoon and go with the flow. If you have a time constraint, this may not be the ride for you. On our return, we’ll take the Santa Rosa Creek bike path as part of our route back to the train station. The plan is to take the 3:55 or 6:13 pm train back to the Larkspur start. There are earlier times before 3:55 but this does not give you enough you time to enjoy the area relaxed. Feel free to split from the group, a route will be provided but you will be on your own.
Options:
1-
Approx 30 miles meet 9:00 am in front of Johnny’s Donuts at the Marin Country Mart 2257 Larkspur Landing Circle, Larkspur. Elevation 579

The lunch stop will be at one of the many choices at The Barlow before returning.
