Ride Routes

Team Alameda offers rides every Saturday & Sunday. There are short, medium and long ride options; typically, the shortest route is 20 miles, the longest about 85. Routes start with a flat warm-up and include various levels of climbing in the East Bay hills. You'll find most of our routes here, but sometimes we still make them up as we go along.

Ride Ratings = Hilliness / Pace / Mileage

Hilliness is described by a number, 1-5. 1 being flat terrain, 5 being steep hills.

Pace is described by a letter, A-D. A is slow pace 8-10 mph, D is fast pace 16+ mph.

Mileage is the approximate mileage of the entire ride.

Example: 3/C/35 = Moderately hilly; 12-14 mph average pace; approximately 35 miles

Further description:

Hilliness Examples:
1 / 0-2 % - Essentially flat / All Alameda, Marina rides
2 / 2-6 % - A Few Low Hills / Montclair Peets, Domingo Peets rides
3 / 6-8 % - Moderately Hilly / Tunnel, Skyline, Redwood, Butters Canyon
4 / 6-12 % - Very Hilly / Three Bears, Pinehurst, Snake Rd., Claremont
5 / 12+ % - Extremely Hilly / Marin, Vollmer, Hiller, Thorndale, Ascot, Donald Dr.

Pace Examples:
A / 8 -10 mph / Easy Pace, frequent stops, good for new riders
B / 10-12 mph / Steady Pace, fewer stops, for experienced riders
C / 12-14 mph / Steady faster pace, most century riders are this pace
D / 14-16+ mph / Fast pace, for strong experienced riders, maybe one stop
