Join us for a holiday ride led by our Sama Sama lead, Nate, as he guides the group through the classic 3 Bears Loop plus a lil extra👌🏾

📍 Meet: Rockridge BART Station, Oakland
⏰ Meet-up: 8:00 AM
🚲 Roll-out: 8:15 AM
🐻 Route: 3 Bears Loop
🎆 Theme: Wear your holiday colors!

This route has plenty of climbing, so carb up the night before, get your legs ready, and come prepared for a solid morning on the bike.

Planned stops:

• Mile 12ish: quick bathroom/water stop at Steam Trains / Vollmer Peak
• Mile 36ish: longer stop at Peet’s Coffee in Orinda
• Optional return stop: Steam Trains again if needed, but by then all the hard work will be done

Please bring your own hydration, snacks, bike maintenance tools, and a light. Download the route ahead of time if possible so you can stay familiar with the course.

Group Ride Etiquette Reminders:

• Ride no more than 2 riders across
• Turn rear lights on in solid mode, not flashing
• Use bike lanes when available
• Call out hazards and communicate with the group
• Be kind, welcoming, and respectful to everyone

👐🏽 Be Kind. Welcome others, ride with respect, and keep it a safe space. No hate, shaming, or harassment — ever.
🛡 Ride Safe. Helmets required. Bring lights and make sure your bike is in good working order.
🚲 All Bikes Welcome. Whatever you ride, you’re welcome here.

Come ready to climb, connect, and celebrate the 4th with community. We can’t wait to see you all! 🇺🇸🐻
