Alameda Wiggle

Easy/8-12 mph/30 miles/elevation 151
Join me for a relaxed casual ride starting from 21st Amendment Brewery. This will likely be the last club ride at the brewery before it closes its doors early November. The community will miss the beer and we will also miss starting rides from this location.
Meet 10:00 am. We’ll head to the Martin Luther Shoreline, wiggle through Alameda on roads commonly used but also on streets and paths less traveled. The return route is on the west side of Doolittle on Ron Cowan and the Oyster Bay Trail back to the start.
Guests are welcome. Post ride social at 21st is around 2:00 pm. Look for a group of cyclists…lol
