Ride Leader: Stacie & Shel

Start:  Kaiser 9:00AM

Description: 3/BC/35-40 depending on return route. It will be a bit a brisk, so dress accordingly. Shel and I will lead a ride out through Jack London Square to Berkeley Aquatic Park, along the Bay Trail to Gilman where we will follow that to Hopkins, Monterey (stop for coffee if requested), to Marin, to Los Angeles and to Spruce. We will climb Spruce to Grizzly Peak (re-group) then follow Grizzly Peak to Skyline (bathroom/water stop at Sibley). From there we can return via Tunnel or Snake or follow Skyline all the way to the end and return via Butters (group decision).  Happy New Year!
