Pescadero Middle/High School
Ride Code: 41-B-3, or 31-B-3
Starting in Pescadero we‘ll traverse the reopened Stage Road all the way to Highway One before heading south and taking Gazos Creek/Cloverdale back to the start. Then we‘ll head to the Loma Mar Store for lunch and return to the start.
Join us as we kickoff the 2025 riding season at Bryant Street Sports Basement in the 5th floor Treeline Room. We‘ll have pizza and drinks (donations will be requested to help cover the cost). Our special guests this year will be Curtis Bass and Mike Hephner of Positive Pedalers.
Peets Coffee in the Castro (16th and Market Streets)
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.
Mikes Bikes Sausalito
meet outside the main (south) entrance
Ride Code: 24-A-3
Join us for a ‘kinder, gentler‘ Tiburon loop! Starting and ending at Mike‘s Bikes at the south end of the Mill Valley-Sausalito Path instead of in SF cuts the mileage of the Jersey Ride in half to just 24 miles. This shortened route keeps the best part--Paradise Drive and Tiburon--and ditches the moshpit on the Golden Gate Bridge and the slog up Alexander, which is always into a headwind. Yes, you can eat dessert first!
Ride Code: 35-B-3
Meet up at 8:45 AM for a 9:00 AM ride out
Ride Code: Dirt 27-B-4. This ride starts and ends as a rolling road ride from Half Moon Bay, sandwiching more than 2K feet of intense climbs and 1.5k feet of blissful single track descent on dirt.
Ride Code: 39-B-3
Meet up at 8:45 AM for a 9:00 AM ride out
It‘s a one-way ride from Castro Valley to Milpitas via two of the most beautiful roads in the East Bay: Palomares Road and Calaveras Road. We‘ll be riding through beautiful countryside almost the entire way until we get down to Milpitas. For this BART to BART ride, be sure to bring your Clipper card, because you‘ll need to take BART to get back from Milpitas to Castro Valley. Lunch in Milpitas near the BART station for those who would like to.
Ride Code: 40-B-3
Elev. gain: 1,223 ft.
This ride has been revised to start at Peña Adobe Park and takes in the beautiful Pleasants Valley Road through orchards and vineyards almost all the way to Winters. We’ll wander around a little through orchards east of Winters, and do part of the climb back over the hill (but not the hard part) Then we‘ll make our way to downtown Vacaville and back to Peña Adobe.
Ride code: Dirt 3-B-4. A DSSF dirt ride in the East Bay!! We will meet at L‘acajou bakery and cafe, joined by some East Bay friends of DSSF. We will head up Skyline using the single-track median until we get to Chabot Regional park. Then we will be on and off pavement as we loop around the park and return to the start. Expect 4K ft. of climbing.
Ride Code: 5 or more - B - 1 to 2
Elevation gain: TBD
There aren’t many better ways to start the day than being on your bike. Come join the early bird crew for a bitty spin to start your day. We’ll begin at Philz in the Castro and work our way through Golden Gate Park and maybe further if the riders feel like it. We can expect anything from a gorgeous silver sunrise over the city, to being engulfed by a navy grey shroud of fog, and anything in-between.
Half Moon Bay Fire Station
Ride Code: 55-B-4
A scenic ride down the coast highway from Half Moon Bay to Pigeon Point Lighthouse, then take Gazos Creek road inland towards Butano State Park, and wend our way back up to Pescadero for our lunch stop. Next we will take scenic Stage Road to San Gregorio, then a bit of the coast highway again before riding the lower part of Tunitas Creek Road back to the HMB fire station.
Ernie Rodriguez Softball fields
(just past the Lutheran church)
Ride Code: 37-B/C-4
Elevation gain: about 2,670 ft.
We start in Livermore and head south and east on Tesla Rd. before starting the climb up Patterson Pass. The road is quiet and isolated except for the occasional motorcyclist and rally cars. We top over the top and have a long descent to 580. Here we’ll get off the roads and take the California Aqueduct Bikeway north to Altamont Pass Road and climb back up, cross over 580 and descend to Livermore. The roads back to Livermore, like the roads heading out, are rural ranch roads with hardly any shoulder but in decent condition.
