Meet at 10:00 am for a 10:15 am start
Pre-registration
Century Prep Series rides are designed to prepare new and/or veteran cyclists to ride the Grizzly Peak Century. We emphasize riding in a group and start with relatively easy routes. To check out the entire series and for more information see our Century Prep Series webpage. Non-members are welcome on all GPC rides, but please note: Because of insurance requirements, we limit participation in GPC rides by non-members to two (2) GPC rides. After you join us for a couple rides, please join the club. Your membership includes excess medical and accident insurance.

This first ride in the 2026 Century Prep Series leaves from North Berkeley BART. Ride the flats north to San Pablo Dam Road. Return via Wildcat and Spruce. The rain damaged portion on Wildcat has been completely repaired. Members and nonmembers can all pre-register using the link above to save us time at the start.

This ride is NO DROP. This means nobody will be left behind, no matter their pace or ability. Helmets are required. We look forward to riding with you! Rain cancels. Check this page the day of the ride if weather is dubious.

For all the rides in the Century Prep Series and more information, see our Century Prep Series webpage.
