I did the metric century version on an Atlantis with 2" Schwalbe Duremes.
Jack, if you think the trail past Port Costa was cow-a lish-ous, you should
have seen it at the end of March during a training ride the person who
developed the mixed-terrain route (Craig) led. I saw three coyotes during
Was pretty fun, but the trails out of Port Costa and through Briones were
severely rutted, making climbing difficult and descending even more
unpleasant. Still super happy to mix it up a bit, but I'm not hurrying back
out there and I ultimately wound up bailing about 2/3 the way through.

This looks awesome and wish I could make it. Next year I need to commit to
this and the levi's gran fondo mixed routes well in advance.
Who is going and what bike/tires are you taking? It looks mostly road
still, I wonder if my gunnar sport w/ 33mm tires would do the trick (or if

This weekend! Weather looks fantastic. We're shooting to roll from the
start at 7 AM.
I've ridden all of the dirt before, but certainly never in the same day!

I didn't realize they decided to offer the route, add me to the 50. Here is
a link to some of the trails.

Dave, I can you loan one of my Carradice Campers; they are the perfect size
for holding newborn cyclists. Good luck!
Cheers,

The dirt roads definitely look like a fun addition! I keep eyeing the
Grizzly Peak Century but never seem to have the time and with an expected
newborn I'll probably not make it this year either. Hopefully its
successful and expands next year.

Thanks for the headsup. I have never ridden the Grizzly Peak Century, but
have ridden portions of the ride many times. Adding the dirt roads to the
ride would be really fun, especially for Riv guys. I have ridden my former
Roadeo on many unpaved roads in Marin and Sonoma cos. and would love to
I wore a light short sleeve jersey, a light long sleeve jersey over
that, and brought a windbreaker. The windbreaker lived in a jersey
pocket all day. The longsleeve jersey came off and got stuffed into
the handlebar bag at mile 35 or so. Doug's sweatsoaked wool
longsleeve baselayer went into MY

I didn't do the Grizzly Peak this year-- I did the San Luis Obispo
Wildflower Century Saturday instead-- but I think we all have to face up to
the fact that if people are passing us on uphills, it's not because we're
carrying extra keys and a pair of sunglasses.

Hi Tony and William -
To each his own. If this ride had not been supported - I would likely
have been happy with my load.
But I was plenty warm in shorts and a thin t-shirt at Island (at 7am).
It was all I could do to get myself to drink between rest stops.
And you have every right to be proud o
I rode the Grizzly Peak Century as well, but not on any Riv bike. It
was a steel Land Shark though (it was blue and painted with California
poppies and birds, in case any here saw me), so that counts for
something, right? :)
I saw the purple Custom (who could have missed that?), and a pair of

I agree with Tony. I'd much rather carry a little too much over not
quite enough. I got a couple comments from the crabon crowd at the
size of my handlebar bag. One guy on a climb asked if I had any beer
in there. It's true you don't need to carry much in the way of food
at the GPC, but those l
Hi Corwin - I spoke with you at the Briones rest stop (orange Sam).
I did the 109 miles (plus there and back home) and toted a bag in
front and back. Where else would you put the wool arm warmers, knee
warmers and socks needed at the beginning of the day? That I did the
whole route is not a brag,
I rode the Grizzly Peak century as well. I was on the Purple Custom. I
saw many Rivs during the ride including a blue Ram, four Homers and an
orange Sam. I rode the north loop - a measly 73.3 miles, which I
modified by riding up to Island Picnic area in Tilden from Berkeley.
Also rode back to Orind
I'm registered now. I opted for the Island Start. I'll be on my
bluish Hilsen. Doug will be on his coffee-colored Hilsen.

I did the short version last year for the first time. It's a tough
ride but I'll do it again this year. I'm starting at the high school.
Either bike will work well, Rene.

I just registered as well. As this is 2 weeks before my Oregon Bike
Touring course, I'll use it as my longest ride before tapering down.
Don't know if I'll be able to do the whole ride or just the 72 mile
loop, but I'll try. Most likely will be riding my Homer, unless those
who know best maintain t
I just registered. I will be starting from the Island Picnic Area as
well. I will be on my Orange Sam. I would love to ride with a group.

I start in Tilden because we live in Albany, have only one car and my

I could probably find someone to carpool with - but riding up to
Grizzly Peak Boulevard and down to Island Picnic area sounded much
more interesting. Should add back a few hundred feet o
