Meet at 9:00 am
Pre-registration
I don't really call this one of my favorite rides, but it is a local favorite because it's close by, it only takes a few hours to do, and it gets you out by the water and through the rolling hills of China Camp. NOTE: Significant changes will be made to the route , including a cut-through immediately after the Richmond Bridge which gets us out to the park quicker (and easier) and which will involve a bit of riding on the dirt along the water (very doable on all bikes, no need to have gravel tires). One more significant change : I've listed the start time as 9:00, but that will be 9:00 from El Cerrito Plaza BART , where the ride leader will start and show people how to cut through the neighborhood over to Carlson, and then out to the Bay Trail before hitting the streets of Pt Richmond. Those wishing to start at Miller/Knox should be there around 9:30, ready to roll around 9:45 . The ride is actually more like 1500 feet; RWGPS does not have elevation data for the RSR bridge, and of course if you start from El Cerrito Plaza BART, the distance will be more like 44 miles. No lunch break planned until we get back to Pt Richmond, where the little tacqueria near the train tracks has good drinks and food for those that want it. Restrooms at MIller Knox, and then out along the road in China Camp. Bring what you need and come enjoy riding in the warm sunshine in the middle of January. Rain would cancel, but it's supposed to be a beautiful day.
