 Come join me for an enhanced version of the Lake Hennessey-Pope Valley loop that kicked off last years Calistoga Weekend. Instead of starting at the Lake Hennessey boat launch, we'll start in Napa for a 14 mile warm-up to Hwy 128/Sage Canyon Road. We will regroup at the boat launch area at Lake Hennessey, before continuing on Sage Canyon to Berryessa-Knoxville Road and on to the Spanish Flat Country Store & Deli. Here you can grab lunch and ride ahead to the Lake Berryessa Recreation Area for lunch overlooking the lake.
 
September 5 - 12:00AM • Sunday
Come join me for a leisurely ride out to Rodeo Beach. We'll leave from Peet's in the Castro and head over the Golden Gate Bridge and then up Conzelman to McCullough. We'll head down to pretty Rodeo Beach and then head home the way we came. There's a couple of pretty substantial hills on this ride but we'll try to keep a leisurely pace.
From Peets in the Castro we'll head over the Golden Gate Bridge and then through Sausalito to Fairfax where we'll stop at Perry's for snack. Then we'll head over White's hill to San Geronimo Valley and then into Nicasio Valley past the pretty reservoir before making one last climb where we'll stop at the Cheese Factory. From there we head back towards Nicasio to Point Reyes Station and then home through Samuel P Taylor Park to Fairfax. It's a long day but super fun.
September 11 - 9:00AM • Saturday
This is the official monthly club ride for all members (guests are always welcome). The ride offers different distance and level options where once a month all DSSF club members can get out, ride and socialize with the club. The ride starts from Peet's in the Castro. There are three options so you can go at your own pace and distance so please pick the appropriate option to your level of ability, we want to make sure you enjoy the day. The rides split and regroup in Tiburon where we have lunch together as a group. This ride is usually on the second Saturday of each month; however there are a couple of exceptions for special events (see the calendar).
Turn off at the end of the Sausalito bike path and go directly into Tiburon where the other riders will join you for lunch. You can ride back to San Francisco (or take the ferry to avoid climbing the Sausalito hill). This option is recommended for those who are newer to road cycling.
This is a real fun loop with spectacular views! From Sausalito you have a small climb over Camino Alto before you head out and around the Tiburon Peninsula. This ride is recommended for the intermediate rider or for those who don't feel like the more strenuous third option.
Split off from the group and make the climb up Conzelman in the Marin Headlands then climb up that small canyon, McCullough Road before heading back out to Sausalito to ride the Tiburon Loop. This is the faster paced, more advanced option with extra hills and mileage. Meet At: Peet's Coffee in the Castro (16th and Market Streets). Please arrive between 8:30am and 8:45am for ride sign-up. Ride leaves at 9:00am. You can find a route sheet at: http://www.dssf.org/dssf_html/pdf_documents/club_jersey_ride.pdf RSVP Required

Come join us for an exciting ride out to picturesque Novato. We'll start from Peet's in the Castro and head over the Golden Gate Bridge and then to Faifax where we'll stop for Snack. From there we'll head over to Nicasio and then up to the Cheese Factory where we'll stop again. Then it'll be past pretty Stafford Lake into Novato and then we'll head down to San Rafael where we'll stop at Northgate Mall for lunch. Then back to the Golden Gate Bridge and home. You'll love it!

On Friday we'll climb from Plymouth (1086 ft) past zinfandel and syrah vineyards to Mt. Aukum and Fairplay (probable lunch stop) then up the memorable Slug Gulch Road to Omo Ranch and eventually to 5,000 ft. From there, we will enjoy a great descent through the Sierra foothills, back through Fiddletown and back to Plymouth in time for an enjoyable Friday evening. Total elevation gain is around 6,700 feet.

Saturday's ride will be one that will remind you why you love to bike in the first place. We'll head south from Plymouth to Drytown, Amador City (and a great pastry and coffee stop) and Sutter Creek. From there we'll ride up the spectacularly scenic Sutter Creek Road to Volcano for lunch.
