Any South Bay riders interested in a South Bay get together? Oakland
is not so convenient from the peninsula.

 riding on weekends and fit within my style and timeframe of riding? Or is
 there something like this already exists (besides Manny's rides which look
 totally awesome but would take too much out time and energy out of my
 weekend)? Would be nice to meet up and ride with some like minded folk. More
 of a social gathering with some medium duty riding mixed in. Maybe beers
 mixed in at the end?

 One of my highlights this year was Entmoot. So much fun to meet fellow
 Rivendell owners from all over. I've also enjoyed getting to know the
 Rivendell employees, and fellow riders through the list and buying/selling
 things locally. Would love to organize something where we meet up more
 regularly, for a more casual, social ride setting. And by 'organize' i mean
 that in the absolute loosest sense of the word. Last thing I want to be
 responsible for is any sort of official group with insurance and waivers,
 etc.

 I typically go for rides out of Rockridge (up tunnel road, snake rd, or
 shasta in Berkeley, and figure it out from there) on Saturday or Sunday
 mornings around 9:00 or 9:30 for around 3-4 hours (road, trail,
 mixed)...usually, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter when time is tight.
 Other times I'll go to N. Bay or further out in the East Bay (over the peak
 and into Mt Diablo/Shell Ridge area) and find some routes there: road or
 trails. I'm not very fast. Touring pace. Home in time for lunch and a beer.
 I do this almost every week (rockridge departure) so could be a weekly thing
 if enough people are interested. I'm not big on being out more than 4-5
 hours or so, 4 hours is my sweet spot.

 My thought is a once a month thing (like first saturday or sunday?) If
 enough interest I can just setup a google group and we can take it from
 there. Just gauging interest for now or seeing if something else is already
 out there. Maybe an inaugural ride starting at the Rockridge BART the
 weekend of Jan 3 or 10? I think I already have some travel the first few
 weeks of Feb so could already be a rocky start for the second month, but
 happy to make some amends for the greater good where I can.

 Possible overnighter meet ups as well?

 Let me know, PM or reply to thread.

 Disclaimer: my main road ride is actually not a Rivendell, but a Gunnar
 (outfitted with a front rack and sackville trunk bag of course), though I
 have three rivendells now for trail (hunqapillar), commute (cheviot), and
 single speeding (QB) that I can take out to fit in :) Unless someone wants
 to trade me an AHH.

I would be interested, though I don't live on the peninsula.
I used to live over there, and I still think the riding there is as good as 
it gets.

 4-5 hours or so, 4 hours is my sweet spot.

 My thought is a once a month thing (like first saturday or sunday?) If 
 enough interest I can just setup a google group and we can take it from 
 there. Just gauging interest for now or seeing if something else is already 
 out there. Maybe an inaugural ride starting at the Rockridge BART the 
 weekend of Jan 3 or 10? I think I already have some travel the first few 
 weeks of Feb so could already be a rocky start for the second month, but 
 happy to make some amends for the greater good where I can.

 Possible overnighter meet ups as well?

 Let me know, PM or reply to thread.

 Disclaimer: my main road ride is actually not a Rivendell, but a Gunnar 
 (outfitted with a front rack and sackville trunk bag of course), though I 
 have three rivendells now for trail (hunqapillar), commute (cheviot), and 
 single speeding (QB) that I can take out to fit in :) Unless someone wants 
 to trade me an AHH.

[RBW] Bay Area RBW meetup group? ride or camping?

2014-12-17 Thread DS
Anyone interested in meeting up for a monthly Rivendell ride in the Bay 
Area (East Bay specifically since I live in Oakland but happy to travel up 
to an hour and include anyone located within spitting distance)? I feel 
like there's a lot of  you Oakland/Berkeley members on here, some of you 
must be riding on weekends and fit within my style and timeframe of riding? 
Or is there something like this already exists (besides Manny's rides which 
look totally awesome but would take too much out time and energy out of my 
weekend)? Would be nice to meet up and ride with some like minded folk. 
More of a social gathering with some medium duty riding mixed in. Maybe 
beers mixed in at the end?

One of my highlights this year was Entmoot. So much fun to meet fellow 
Rivendell owners from all over. I've also enjoyed getting to know the 
Rivendell employees, and fellow riders through the list and buying/selling 
things locally. Would love to organize something where we meet up more 
regularly, for a more casual, social ride setting. And by 'organize' i mean 
that in the absolute loosest sense of the word. Last thing I want to be 
responsible for is any sort of official group with insurance and waivers, 
etc.

I typically go for rides out of Rockridge (up tunnel road, snake rd, or 
shasta in Berkeley, and figure it out from there) on Saturday or Sunday 
mornings around 9:00 or 9:30 for around 3-4 hours (road, trail, 
mixed)...usually, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter when time is tight. 
Other times I'll go to N. Bay or further out in the East Bay (over the peak 
and into Mt Diablo/Shell Ridge area) and find some routes there: road or 
trails. I'm not very fast. Touring pace. Home in time for lunch and a beer. 
I do this almost every week (rockridge departure) so could be a weekly 
thing if enough people are interested. I'm not big on being out more than 
4-5 hours or so, 4 hours is my sweet spot.

My thought is a once a month thing (like first saturday or sunday?) If 
enough interest I can just setup a google group and we can take it from 
there. Just gauging interest for now or seeing if something else is already 
out there. Maybe an inaugural ride starting at the Rockridge BART the

I'm in north Berkeley and am interested.  Hope the four hour ride also includes 
time for coffee making!
